Andy Doria receives 'Gintong Parangal 2022' award

By Leo Udtohan



Here for a vacation was Boholano balikbayan Andy Uriarte Digal Doria from California, USA. 


After his visit to Butuan City, Andy immediately flew in here. He was accompanied by his sister, Fatima, and nephew, Eman, during his entire Bohol stay. 

He visited Loboc town where he met his relatives.  He also visited Tamper Coffee and Brunch, Sikatuna's Mirror of the World and Botabical Garden, Atmospheres and Virgin Island. 

"I love the place, it's paradise now," gushed Andy when he saw the sandbar.  Virgin Island became controversial when a group of tourists complained about the pricey seafood. 

Last Thursday, he also visited the tomb of his uncle Fidelito Doria who passed away in 2019 at Victoria Memorial Park. 

Andy was in Manila on Saturday (Aug. 13) to receive the "Gintong Parangal 2022" as "Inspiring Entrepreneur of the Year" held at Okada Manila.

Gintong Parangal is a new Filipino award-giving body that recognizes various individuals and organizational contributions toward the attainment of a better quality of life.
