It is said that music is the food that feeds our soul. What a fitting delight to know that
our TBTK Global Homecoming campaign promotion not just has its own official Theme Song, but its composer is no less a Priest, gifted with such extra-ordinary skill in music and among the Paring Bol-anon holding pastoral assignment abroad who is right now connected to a Louisiana Parish in the United States, in the person of Fr. 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.
Hereunder is the lyrics of the TBTK’s Theme Song in its entirety. To hear the song, log on to our website at tbtk.org . or click youtube, or get in touch with us thru our e-mail ad:douglashont@hotmail.com.
TIGUM BOL-ANON

1
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.
3
Kalambo, kahiusa
Paga damgohon ta
Yuta natong natawhan
Atong pangalagaran
Ayaw kamo kalimot
Tandaon ta siya.
4
Bol-anong panawagan
Kaninyo nga tanan.
Bol-anon’sa kalibutan
O dungga ki’ng tanan;
Salamat, o Bol-anon
Magkita-kita tang tanan.
(Koro)
Tulay:
Tigum Bol-anon tigum!
Bol-anon tib’ok kalibutan
Bol-anon tib’ok kalibutan
Uban kamo sa panagtigum!
(Koro)
Koda:
Tigum Bol-anon tigum!
Tigum Bol-anon tigum!
Tigum Bol-anon tigum!
