guide for the rest of the day! So we are here in Cebu Port and will arrive at Tagbilaran Seaport in
approximately 2 hours. While we are in trip, let me share a few interesting facts about Bohol. To
begin with, Bohol is located in the Central Visayas Region of the Philippines. It is also considered as
the 10th largest island in the Philippines. In addition, Bohol province is a popular destination not
only for locals but also to foreigners for its beaches and resorts. Furthermore, among the many

(Answer) What a lovely answer, thank you ma’am. We will travel again for about 4 minutes to

order whatever you want and enjoy your food while looking at the beautiful scenery at your side.
How was your lunch everyone? Did you appreciate the view while eating? (Answer) It has that
relaxing vibe that makes the food more delicious. Our next stop is the Manmade Forest also known
as The Bohol Forest. It is a manmade mahogany forest stretching in two-kilometer stretch of densely
planted Mahogany trees located in the border of Loboc and Bilar towns. It is also the reason why the
air here is is so fresh. The trees are also lined up perfect that makes an illusion that looks good in
photos. I will leave you here for a while to shoot videos or photos. After that, we will move to
Butterfly Garden. Did you guys love the fresh surrounding at the Manmade Forest? I’m sure that you
do because of the pleasant environment there. Now, we will arrive at the Butterfly Garden where you
can find a lot of beautiful species of butterflies. But just a small reminder that you are not allowed to
trap a butterfly in your hands but you can touch them. It makes them uncomfortable and the other
might get frighten. After one hour, we will go straight ahead to the most popular attraction here in
Bohol, Chocolate Hills; but before that we will ride on a boat in the Loboc River which is close to the
manmade forest. Our travel is going to be an hour so you can take a nap or recharge your body and
mind to see the best asset here in Bohol. ALright passengers, time check, it is 6 pm in the evening.
Okay guys, I have a sad news, unfortunately this is our last stop but I assure you that this will be the
best among of all the places we’ve been to. We have arrived at our last destination, The Chocolate
Hills. This is one of the best tourist spot in the Philippines. They always say “save the best for last”.
The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Bohol province of the Philippines. There are at
least 1,260 hills but there may be as many as 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 square
kilometers. They are covered with green grass that turns brown during dry season or should we call it
“summer”? It is established in June 18, 1988. It’s a long time but it is still attractive to the eyes of the
people. You can spend the remaining time here taking pictures and filming. After you took some
images, make sure to come back at the bus so you won’t be late at your flight. How was your stay in
Cebu and Bohol? (Answer) I’m sure that you have made a lot of good memories here. The trip
maybe exhausting but I am certain that the long trips and rides paved away because of the clean and
nice environment here. May this place made you happy and comfortable in the days of your stay. I
hope that you enjoy your vacation. Cebu and Bohol is always open to everyone who wants to
