President Arroyo's Dinner in Bohol

Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado obliged President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with a dinner luau on the day she came over to lay the time capsule for the P4.2-billion Panglao Bohol International Airport in Purok 2 of Barangay Tawala of the resort town.

And the luau proved very productive for Bohol .

Following her now famous scuba dive at the " Black Forest " of the Balicasag Island Dive Resort off Panglao that splashed on the front page of a national daily, the President and the governor tackled the more serious things anew although in more relaxed surroundings this time, at the white sand beach of the Panglao Island Nature Resort in Dauis town.

The beach is located below the resort that is on a cliff, and is accessible by a concrete pathway and short flights of stairs.

The Black Forest is one of six best-documented and mapped dive spots in Balicasag, which is one of the top three dive sites in the world.

Still wearing her diver's watch, she took time to greet everyone especially old friends, flitting from table to table before settling at the one reserved for her, Aumentado and his wife Grenie, Secretaries Joseph Durano of Tourism and Peter Favila of Trade and Industry, and Gov. Damian Mercado of Southern Leyte, among others.

Before the luau ended, Aumentado already had the President's commitment of completing more infrastructure projects, specifically the Bohol Tourism Road Improvement Project (Bohol-TRIP).
