Cebu-Bohol Bridge to Boost Economy Under Pres. Rody Duterte

The Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge once realized under the administration of Pres. Rody Duterte will have a big economic impact to both provinces of Central Visayas. Politicians from both provinces are conducting studies to pushed the project into realization with the help of the Duterte administration.


According to Aumentado, Bohol Board Member Nino Bonie and several second district mayors were in Cebu City to conduct a "Bohol 2nd District Development Framework" meeting at Quest Hotel.

Some of the most prominent economic leaders in the Province like NEDA 7 Director Efren Carreon and Dr. Joel Elumba of the Department of Agriculture (DA) were the resource persons during the meeting.

The NEDA Official in Region 7 also noted that there will be no more stranded passengers in Cebu and Bohol even if ship trips are cancelled during typhoons because, with a bridge, vehicles can travel freely.


Although the travel time between the two provinces is only from one to three hour by seas, the Philippine Coast Guard implemented the policy to prevent accidents.

The proposed Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge will pass through Cordova and Jetafe, Bohol, was endorsed by the late political icon of Bohol former governor Erico Aumentado. 

According to Aumentado the proposed Cebu-Bohol Bridge was already endorsed by the Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 and was declared pending when it reached the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

Former Cordova Mayor Adelino Sitoy, who is now a presidential legislative liaison to President Duterte strongly supports the realization of the proposed Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge because this will complement the coming Mactan-Cebu third Bridge that will connect Cebu City and Cordova in Mactan Island.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President.
