The organizing committee of the New 7 Wonders (N7W) of Nature campaign will be reinstating the world renowned Bohol's Chocolate Hills in its official list of nominees anytime today.
Better yet, the search organizers have also assured that the votes gathered by Chocolate Hills in the online polls before it was delisted as a nominee will also be restored.
This information was relayed to the Chronicle yesterday by Dr. Oscar Galang, the organizer of the Chocolate Hills support committee in the United States. He was interviewed over dyRD's top-rated "Inyong Alagad" yesterday.
Galang, who had been in touch with the New 7 Wonders Foundation, said that Nadja Rahal, head of the search registration committee, made the assurance that the Bohol hills will be listed again in official nominees.
This after nomination documents, official support committee (OSC) endorsement and an agreement-contract signed by Carmen town Mayor Manuel Molina were already submitted to the N7W Foundation headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
The delisting of Chocolate Hills last week was due to the non-compliance of the said documents required by the foundation.
Before it was dislodged from the official list of nominees and the online rankings, Chocolate Hills occupied the 6th place of the live rankings at the N7W website.
"I talked with Molina yesterday, then called up Rahal who confirmed that the documents are already received," Galang said.
According to Galang, Chocolate Hills was previously nominated to the N7W but no group officially stood up as the official support committee (OSC).
"The nomination and OSC must come from officials of the locality where the natural site is located," Galang said.
