Today we woke up early to leave the paradise of Boracay for the longest leg of our trip on the island of Bohol. Bohol is famous for its Tarsier population and Chocolate Hills. The day was mainly spent in transit as we again took nearly every form of transportation available to man. After the boat off of Boracay, we hopped on a bus to the airport in Manila to take a plane to Tagbilaran City. From there we headed to the PROCESS Bohol offices where we would spend our first night. We were kindly greeted by the employees of the office and sat down to a presentation so we could become more familiarized with the work of the NGO. PROCESS is actually an acronym for Participatory Research, Organization of Communities and Education towards Struggle for Self-Reliance. The highly varied organization has successfully implemented many programs focusing on the social, environmental, and economic well-being of its citizens.

The evening activities continued with a generous welcome dinner that featured an entire roasted pig. Many thanks to our gracious hosts. We ended the night fairly early with some karaoke and interaction with PROCESS Bohol staff before the next day we would head out early to the beginning of our three day home stay in the city of Maribojoc.
