Since the quarantine was declared in March, Petche Ann and husband Jobert Russel Asilo have been shuttling between their houses in two towns, discovering more and more about each other in the process. 


Jobert, 22, hails from Calape, while Petche, 24, hails from Loboc town. 

The past eight months, they have discovered a lot about each other and continue doing so.

What keep them busy is staying fit when everybody is grappling with cabin fever.

"To stay fit during this pandemic I did what will work for me like eating properly because for me health is wealth and, of course, I do jog for cardio," Jobert said. 

Petche does yoga.  "I just want to stay fit by having a healthy lifestyle. Honestly, I eat so much sumptuous foods especially when I'm at home. But I've managed to control myself like having a balance diet," she said. 

For Jobert, he learned that there are many important things in life, but the most important thing is family. 

"My family has always been the most important thing in my life, our connections and relationship with each other. And the importance of grace, we're blessed enough to have a productive work in these days," he said. 

Petche said "emergency savings account is always necesary and health is wealth."  She said supporting local products helps the local economy this pandemic.

"This pandemic gives us the opportunity to look at our lives with different eyes," she said. 

Perhaps not many people know that  Jobert was 1st Runner Up in Sandugo Festival King 2017,  2016 Male Grand Winner Mannequin Model Search and crowned Mister PMI Personality. Meanwhile, Petche was Bohol's representative to Mutya Ng Pilipinas 2016 and Philippines Next Top Model 2017 Top 7.

“I get in touch with my family regularly,” said Joebert, "more so now. I love them!"

(During this interview, he mentioned that Calape has the newest attraction--  "Pulangyuta" or the  Red Tierra de Agaton in Barangay Sohoton).  

Since Bohol has re-opened its door to tourists, the lovely couple would like to promote their hometowns. 

For sure, they are willing to be your tour guides. 

"I want to invite them to visit our very own St. Vincent Ferrer Church, the newly discovered what they called "Pulang Yuta" and lastly the white sand beach at the Island of Panggangan," said Jobert. 

"Definitely, I would bring them to Loboc Floating Resto. It's a must-try experience, I know some people may get annoyed going back on the same place over and over again but there's something enjoyable about riding that floating resto. It's the ambiance, the people, the food and the view, " said Petche. "The floating Resto will always be that place for me I just never get tired tired of the scenery," she quipped.
