Do you have a hard time searching for schedules of incoming and outgoing trips to Bohol?
Fret no more my friend, you can find it at http://www.boholphil.com. From the top menu of the site click the "Getting In/Out", then specify your port of origin and destination. Easy, isn't it?
By the way, if you find that the schedules are no longer true, just drop me a line so that I could update the schedule. Para ni sa mga bol-anon, friends, visitors and guests.
If you have information that you would like me to post in the web, please let me know and if you could provide me the information, that would be highly appreciated.

Updated Boat/Plane Schedule
Earn $$$ from online surveys
Can we really earn income from the Internet?
This question may already be too "obsolete" for those who have been earning lots from the Internet but for those who do not know yet, then this article may be timely.
A friend of mine told me that he was earning from AWSurveys.com for sometime now. Out of curiosity, I signed-up, answer two surveys and immediately, I earned $6. Wow, this is an amazing money making through the web.
If you want to earn, try it yourself and share your experience.
Good luck ....

International Workshop at Holy Name Univ on May 4-6, 2009
The information below is reprinted with permission from the email/blogspot of Dr. Raffy Saldana at http://raffysaldana .blogspot. com.
We would like to invite you to participate in the Europe-Philippines International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation and Grid Computing (MODEL 2009) to be held on May 4 - 6, 2009 in Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines.
MODEL is a workshop series that is convened every two years since 1999. It started in November 1999 in Ateneo de Manila University (MODEL ‘99), followed by MODEL 2001 in MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (Iligan City), MODEL 2003 in Philippine Science High School (Quezon City), MODEL 2005 in the University of Cebu (Banilad Campus, Cebu City), and MODEL 2007 in Boracay Regency Resort and Convention Center (Boracay Island, Aklan).
MODEL 2009 is being organized by the Ateneo de Manila University Grid and High Performance Computing Group (A-GRID) in cooperation with the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) and Holy Name University.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide a forum for exchange of ideas, information, and research outputs on modeling, simulation, scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing among academics, research scientists, industry practitioners, and students.

Conquer your fear of heights, cross the Sevilla Hanging Bridge and meet the Buko King
Do you want to add more excitement during your day tour in Bohol?
Take time to visit the Sevilla Hanging Bridge and at the other side of the bridge, you will meet Mr. Buko King.
Sevilla's hanging bridge is just about 20 min away from Loboc town proper. In the absence of concrete bridge, a 30-45 meters long bamboo bridge was made to allow people to cross from and to the other side of the river. What is exciting there is that the bridge swings as you cross the long bridge and hear people (young and adults) screaming as they cross the bridge.
At the end of the bridge, you can buy various souvenir items, satisfy your thirst with fresh buko juice and watch Mr. Buko King removes the husks of a coconut buko in less than 30 seconds using his bare teeth...
Visit Bohol from Cebu City with only P500 fare!
Biyahe na (travel now) to Bohol! With the P500 round trip promo fare from Cebu to Tagbilaran offered by Oceanjet and Supercat, as reported in their respective websites, any Juan or Maria could now visit Bohol and explore its wonders at minimal cost. While in Bohol, do not miss to visit the Hinagdanan Cave in Dauis, the Blood Compact site in Bool, Tagbilaran, the Baclayon Old Stone Church, the tarsiers and river cruise in Loboc, the hanging bridge in Sevilla, the famous Chocolate Hills in Carmen and the Sagbayan Peak. For only one day, you can already visit most of these places. So what are you waiting for, biyahe na, while the fare is affordable.
