Changing of guards during the wake.
Close to midnight on January 4, the Bohol Cultural Center was still almost a festive atmosphere.
Several organizations and individuals proceeded to the last night of the late congressman’s wake at the Bohol Cultural Center. The venue was filled with Boholanos from all walks of life, some traveling from the northern part of Bohol. Some individuals wore t-shirts saying Aumentado was their hero.
Outside the venue, large banners were displayed expressing gratitude to the former governor of the province. The trademark “Kalsada Sementado” banner was also displayed. Aumentado was credited for being able to complete the circumferencial road of Bohol including many other major highways connecting several towns in Bohol that were previously almost inaccessible. The much improved road networked helped increase tourism, farm-to-market access and business activities in general.
He was also able to put up several irrigation projects that enabled farmers to increase agricultural output, allowing Bohol to be self sufficient on rice. He was also responsible for enabling electricity to be provided to remote towns and even some islands that were left out due to difficult access by the electric cooperatives.
