Bohol Showcase Center opened

The Boholano farmers, fisherfolks, processors, and plantitos/plantitas have already a modern facility
for them to sell their agri-fishery products, processed foods and plants at the cheaper prices compared
than those at the public markets.
This developed after the Bohol Showcase Center was constructed by the Provincial Government of
Bohol (PGBh) at the CPG Park, fronting Bohol Wisdom School, CPG North Avenue, Cogon, Tagbilaran
City and was being blessed and formally opened last Thursday as one of the highlights in the
commemoration of the 125 th birthday of Bohol’s most illustration son Pres. Carlos P. Garcia.
Rev. Fr. Lito Geangan officiated the blessing after the ribbon led by Gov. Art C. Yap and Vice Gov.
Rene Relampagos together with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan members, Provincial Agriculturist Liza
M. Quirog, Assistant Provincial Agriculturist Larry M. Pamugas, Maria Fe M. Dominise and other
department heads.
In his message, Gov. Yap expressed elation to see Boholano farmers, fisherfolks, processors among
others displaying and selling their products of which the sales would go directly to their owned pockets.
Yap emphasized that the purpose of constructing the center is to help them in selling their products in
addition to their income.
He added that this is also helping the consumers or buying public to buy cheaper prices.
Yap said the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) did not ask any taxes from the exhibitors at the
showcase center.
The more than 50 exhibitors who have been displaying and selling their agri-fishery products,
handicrafts, processed products, kakanin or favourite Boholano delicacies, among others expressed thanks
and gratitude to the provincial government who have been helping them to earn especially in this time of
