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.
