COURTESY call to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on July 14 signals the formal start of this year’s Tigum Bol-anon sa Tibuok Kalibutan in Bohol (TBTK) July 16-22 in the country, says coordinator Liklik Gallares Schroeder in reports.
The TBTK however does not start in Bohol until July 16.
This as Boholanos await the biennial homecoming of Boholanos to discuss on development initiatives and possibly fund some of the priority projects here as identified by the provincial Government.
The TBTK was a concert made into reality when past local leaders saw the need to engage the private sector, especially better-off Boholanos abroad to help the government fund development here.
Following the first successful gatherings, investors have been coming in droves confident that the money they invest here is well managed by a tandem of the government and private sector partners.
The balikbayans formally start the biennial investor gathering with the courtesy call and the formal registration at the city MetroCenter Hotel and Convention Center July 16. (PIA)
