Bohol Chocolate Hills No. 4 Among 77 Semi-Finalists in New Seven Wonders Search

Bohol Philippines - Lovers of Bohol's Chocolate Hills have reason to rejoice - the world renowned natural wonder last night climbed to No. 4 among the 77 semi-finalists in the search for the New Seven Wonders of Nature from its No. 5 berth the other day.

It follows Palawan's Tubbataha Reef that holds position No. 3 while two other Philippine natural wonders - the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River and come-backing Mayon Volcano hold rank Nos. 8 and 11 respectively.

To note, Mayon Volcano disappeared from the list - apparently de-listed like the Chocolate Hills - in the meantime that an Official Support Committee (OSC) was being formed for it.

The Chocolate Hills reappeared in the list after Gov. Erico Aumentado headed an OSC and mailed the duly accomplished form to the organizers. Several other sectors also supported the re-listing.

Meanwhile, the Chocolate Hills bask in the endorsement of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who campaigned for votes during her visit here last May 20. - Published by Bohol Sunday Post
