Roel Lungay. Music was arranged and sang by Romy Ceniza Mascarinas, another talent based in Tagbilaran City.

Better still, such TBTK Theme Song was first aired during Tagbilarans fiesta celebration at Wyckoff, New Jersey where a big congregation of the Boholano community in the East Coast were in attendance last May 9, a Saturday. To everybody’s delight, touching the heart, mind and soul of every Boholano hearing the melody and the lyrics of the song that emits love of our home-province, our people and the invitation to be home this July for the grand celebration..

Such information is no less revealed by our TBTK Chairperson, Mrs. Betty Veloso-Garcia, who was invited as the Inducting Officer of the Tagbilaranon’s of Eastern USA headed by another Paring Bol-anon, Fr. Fernando Po, as re-elected President.

Panahon sa kasadya

Ania na usab

Dakong panaghudyaka

Kanato nagtawag

Kita mag tapok-tapok

Kita mag tigum-tigum.

2

Hala tibuok banay

Pangandam na kamo

Ma nanay man o tatay

Ma dodong man o inday

Kitang tanan mo byahe

Kitang tanan pauli.

Koro:

Tigum Bol-anon tigum

Dili na gyod maluom

Tigum Bol-anon tigum

Dili na gyod mahilom

Mahal natong probinsya

Nagsige nag pangagda

Bol-anon tib’ok kalibutan

Sundon nato ang dalan

Pauli sa Bohol,

Pinangga tang Bohol.

Kalambo, kahiusa

Paga damgohon ta

Yuta natong natawhan

Atong pangalagaran

Ayaw kamo kalimot

Tandaon ta siya.

Coming soon: Unified ID for GSIS, SSS, Philhealth and HDMF

The Unified Multi-Purpose ID System (UMID) will soon be realized as the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Social Security System (SSS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth), the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), and other proponents of the project have formed a technical group to draw up guidelines for the program.

UMID is a a project of the Arroyo administration. It was established last year under Executive Order No. 420, and requires all government agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations to streamline and harmonize their identification systems through the use of a unified multi-purpose ID.

Under the project, the four agencies shall adopt a common UMID card with a common reference number (CRN) to be issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO). The social security identification system is the core of the UMID system. The card will also make use of the automated fingerprint ID system (Afis). UMID is being implemented by the National Economic and Development Authority. (PIA-7/GSIS)
