Pres. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is strongly supporting the development agenda of Bohol under the leadership of Gov. Edgar Chatto and Vice Gov. Concepcion Lim.
The president himself conveyed this commitment to the governor in their brief but intimate talk at the Heroes Hall of Malacañang Palace on Tuesday, July 20 or two days before the 156th Bohol Day.
Aquino and Chatto had then worked together in Congress as representatives of their respective districts in Tarlac and Bohol.
Aquino was to later become a senator while Chatto headed the tourism committee of the House of Representatives. The Senate, also the Upper House, and the House of Representatives or the Lower House are the two chambers of the Philippine Congress.
The president assured the governor that while it may be hard for the national funds to meet the country’s needs this year, he will ensure that the situation will be a lot better next year.
Aquino vowed to fully support Bohol’s priority programs outlined by Chatto, whose first 100 days focus on HEAT---Health, Education, Agriculture and Tourism---which is a sober advocacy approach to poverty reduction..
The governor has coined “HEAT Bohol” as one articulation of his more encompassing service mission slogan LIFE HELPS---Livelihood and tourism, Infrastructure, Food, Education and technology, Health, Environment, Leadership development, Peace and order, and Sports and youth development.
HEAT Bohol – LIFE HELPS is the governor’s major artery to the reinvigorated vision, mission and goals for Bohol.
With the assured support from the president himself, the governor is expected to go bolder in attaining the Bohol vision which, to him, is now a cause for sustainable development that is almost holy. (Ven rebo Arigo)
