In one of the movie scenes, Alona Alegre would frolic in the pristine sand before marauders lad by Max Alvarado would run to capture her.

LOCAL government units (LGUs) into upgrading and improving infrastructure and services but without the funds may now access a viable financing option from a facility coursed through Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).

This as the government also dangles parallel microfinance loans in an effort to promote living conditions and spur local economies into productivity. According to Allan Bisnar of the LBP Bohol Lending Center, now an accessible option for towns, utilities operators and even for private sector groups partnering with towns is World Bank funded Support for Strategic Local Development and Investment Project (S2LDIP).
