Governor Erico Aumentado recently added another feather to his already heavily decorated hat – in the field of tourism anew, this time from the 888 News Forum of Cebu City.
The 24-member 888 News Forum – eight members each from the print, radio and TV media – with the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino and the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies (Naitas) Cebu chapter organized the search and subsequent awarding held at the Waterfront's Del Sol room.
The recognition of personalities and establishments that have exemplary achievements in the fields of tourism, transportation, business and good governance highlighted the Forum's second anniversary bash.
Aumentado received a plaque "for his leadership, dedication and invaluable service which largely contributed to the success of the club's undertakings", signed by Roderic Rama Poca, co-founder and host, and Consul Robert Lim Joseph, co-founder and director.
The governor however vowed not to rest on his laurels.
While he expressed gratitude to Joseph, chair of the organizing committee that includes as members, among others, Tourism Region 7 Director Patria Aurora Roa, he is taking the award as a challenge to strive even harder to attract even more tourists to Bohol. After all, he said, tourism is one of the province's major economic drivers.
The award will serve as a beacon to guide Bohol's leaders in the pursuit of development and progress he said.
Under no circumstance must Bohol's pristine environment be compromised in the name of development, he vowed.
As such, heavy industries are a no-no to Bohol, he said.
