Welcome

2009-08-27T11:30:00.001-07:00

Welcome to our newly added TBTK Networks here at Blogspot. Although we have already an official site at TBTK.ORG, it is our wish to explore some added venues to keep in touch with all the Boholanos worldwide and to expand our exposure in the WWW as modern technology continues to lend itself to an even more expansive means of communication with the availability of all these options right in front of us: quite a few popular names favored by many and others prefered by particular networking groups: that we can't leave anything anymore to luck, fate or chance of being found, read or googled... but to take a more proactive role in being more visible to and reachable by all whom we wish to have network with... and that is you, my dear friend, my dear Boholano and all the significant people around you.

....................................................................................

As the fourth official gathering of our fellow Boholanos con Paisanos from all over the world is nearing its designated time come July 14-26, 2009, I would like to take this opportuned moment to extend to ALL OF YOU the invitation to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event and see-for-yourself how good it is to be home once more to see our beloved BOHOL, your loved ones & friends, and the many developments that may have transpired during the time when we were away, but more so the thought that we are "coming home" in great numbers to create this festive mood & atmosphere and thus relive this uniquely Bol-anon penchants for "fiestas,"
"tapok-tapok," "kaon-kaon," "inum-inom" and "chika-chika" as well as join our brothers & sisters back home in their yearly remembran-
ces and reenactment of Bohol's rich cultural history of being a most-friendly-province-in-all-of-Pinoylandia that dates back to the mid-1500s. Come July 26, 2009, Bohol will celebrate this yearly festivity we call SANDUGO, highlighted by the drumbeats and colourful revelry of a dancing street-parade, the re-enactment of the Blood Compact, the highly touted Boholana beauty pageants that has come along way since its inception, and so much more. Lest you missed the many wonders Bohol is known for - now tagged as the Numero Uno tourists destination in all of the Philippines - I bid all of you to take this prospect and wonderful opportunity to... "pauli sa Bohol, pinangga tang Bohol!" (BVG)

MRS. BOHOL INTERNATIONAL 2009

2009-08-27T11:24:00.000-07:00

Crowning night is finally here. A night unforgetable for quite a few. Every corner of the ballroom and every movement - all worth observing. Happy faces and smiles galore every which way you look. Flashes of cameras like the frequency of lightning on a real stormy day. Colours and intricate works of clothing designs aplenty. People meeting people. Scent not only of expensive perfumes but also of endearment from friends and long-lost acquaintances all gathered at this one moment. A certain aroma of pride and joy for making it home safe and be present on such an eventful evening. Truly a night to remember and an evening made for posterity: MRS. BOHOL INTERNATIONAL 2009 NIGHT

BOHOL ISLAND TOURISM

2009-05-01T15:27:00.001-07:00

Last night I happened to come across with this very well-thought of and very beautifully and very professionally-made video presentation on Bohol Tourism - one that I haven't seen before - by a very familiar, or say, quite popular, name in Bohol's photography circuit by the name of Ted Ramasola. Sure enough when I clicked that play button of the video stream my eyes were transported to unbelievable artistic sceneries I may have already seen in past videos but not in the manner it was imagined or projected by this talented video artist who could easily be tagged as in a class by himself. I'm almost tempted to be on the begging-mode just so I could scream, "believe me 'cause I'm telling the truth!" but my "still-sane" pride and delikadesa are suggesting otherwise but invite me instead to invite you to see it for yourself and be the judge yourselves:
