Tagbilaran Random Sights and Scenes


Before we get out of Bohol, I would like to share some random sights, sites and scenes I encountered around Tagbilaran, my "base of operations" while roaming the southern towns of this island/province.

Let's start with this, a view inside the St. Joseph Cathedral of Tagbilaran City, Bohol...

The Old Provincial Capitol of Bohol, now a museum. Still not ticked-off from my bucket list!

Part of the urbanized areas of Tagbilaran...

"Oling" = "Uling" = "Charcoal"... an essesntial in the Visayas - a barbecue country!

There are still big old wooden houses in the city, but they're slowly modernizing...

I saw an interesting 'vintage' vehicle on the road. It looks like a fairy-tale ride!

It's an old 'carriage' or 'caruaje' or 'karwahe' that you would imagine being drawn by horses. That's one ride (I guess) that no Pinoy would wish to do anytime soon. Would you? If so, may you Rest In Peace!

Same corner as above, I was amused watching these three apple-green clad stooges do their thing...
traffic officers in Tagbilaran City, Bohol
The question that lingered in my perplexed mind was... "since when did it ever become effective, for a busy intersection (near an airport) to have three officers controlling directing vehicle traffic"? Masaya!

Alright, let's end this Bohol sojourn for the moment. I know I'll be back soon anyway!
