their different flavored spreads. (Pesto and chocolate are the best!)
-Don’t buy souvenirs and pasalubong in shopping malls, help
small business owners.
-For souvenirs: T-shirts, key chains, displays, ref magnets,
blankets, handmade bags and house decors.
-For pasalubong: piaya (Bohol’s piaya is one of the best!),
peanut kisses (never forget this!), peanut fingers, star peanuts and flavored spreads (from
bee farm).
-Enjoy!

Bohol will always have a special place in my heart. I really like the peaceful environment and the tropical haven of its natural beauty. I think Bohol’s beaches can also compete with other well known beaches in the Philippines or even in the world. I just hope Boholanos will continue to treasure this province because they don’t know how lucky they are.
