Brownbuds
The prominent local band from the province of Bohol. They were declared 1st place in the Central Visayas Semi-finals for Redhorse Muziklaban Rock Challenge 2005. Their hit song "Byaheng Bohol" is the unofficial theme song of Bohol Tourism. This song was used in Howie Severino's segment for I-Witness, Kat-kat de Castro's segment for Trip Kita, and Miriam Quiambao's segment for 100% Pinoy show. Their song "Olah" was used in the MYX Channel Yearender for 2006. Other hit songs include "Wake Up," "Karma," and "Grind." "Iro," a novelty Visayan song conquered the airwaves of Bohol's KISS FM, Cebu's MOR station, of Davao, Cagayan and of other areas within the Visayas Region. Brownbuds has released their self-produced, self-titled album last October, 2007 in Bohol. Last 2008, they were invited to play at One Love Bar, Xymaca Bar, Magic 89.9's Local Vocal and ABS-CBN's UMAGANG KAY GANDA.
Brownbuds-Byaheng Bohol
BIYAHENG BOHOL
[brownbuds]
Chorus:
Sumama sa byahe
Sumayaw lumundag sa reggae
Gusto mo bang sumama
Sa Bohol tayo ay magsaya 2x
Ihanda ang malita
Tinidor at saka kutsara
Plato platito at kutselyo
Wag kalimutan ang kanin n'yo
Baka ikaw ay mapasubo
Biglang sumakit ang ulcer n'yo
[repeta chorus]
Chocolate Hills ang unang rota
Dito ka makakaasa ka
O kay gandang pagmasdan
Di mo sya makalimutan
manmade forest ang yung tuklasin
ang sarap ng sariwang hangin
doon sa puno maramdaman
ang lamig ng kapaligiran
heyyyyy
[instrumental]
Sa loboc river ay mamangka
Ang tarsier don ay makikita
At tayo ay tumalon
Sabay sa agos ng tubiggg yeeegggg
Sa panglao island ay maligo
At ikaw ay mapapatakbo
Sa puting buhangin ika'y gigilin
Ang sarap magswimming sa balong malalim
[repeta chorus]
Sa Bohol tayo ay magsaya...

Hills
The Chocolate Hills placed Bohol on the tourist map long before the beautiful white beaches of the island became major tourist destinations. The most famous and signature tourist attraction of Bohol, it is a prime tourist destination in the Philippines. This is because the Chocolate Hills are incomparable and is one of the country's most spectacular sceneries. Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who admits that she is the No. 1 tourist of Bohol for having visited the province so many times, said: "Bohol is a major tourist province. The fame of the Chocolate Hills is not only known in the country but worldwide." The national government has chosen the Chocolate Hills as one of its "flagship tourist destinations".
Of the 1,247 hills, two have been developed into resorts for tourism. The original resort is located in Carmen, Bohol located in Barangay Buenos Aires, only a few minutes drive from downtown Carmen. The resort in Carmen is called Chocolate Hills Complex. The more recent one in Sagbayan is called Sagbayan Peak.
The original viewing station of the Chocolate Hills is a government-owned and operated resort called "Chocolate Hills Complex" located in Carmen, Bohol, about 55 kilometres (34 mi) from Tagbilaran City[21] and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the town proper of Carmen, Bohol.
The Chocolate Hills Complex has a restaurant, hostel with swimming pool and an observation deck where one could view and even count the hills at the view deck 210 feet (64 m) above the ground. There are a total of 214 steps leading to the observation or view deck. Here one can view the landscape that is covered with more than a thousand Chocolate Hills. The Chocolate Hills Complex is composed of two hills developed into a resort. An observation deck on the higher hill offers a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding area.
The other way to view the Chocolate Hills is at "Sagbayan Peak", a mountain resort in Sagbayan town, about 75 kilometres (47 mi) northwest of Tagbilaran City. Viewing is made from the deck of an elevated ridge that provides an unobstructed view of the Chocolate Hills as well as the sea off Cebu City. This is only 18 kilometres (11 mi) from the Chocolate Hills complex in neighboring Carmen town.
Sagbayan Peak is a 5-hectare (12-acre) mountaintop resort and recreation center. Its viewing deck offers a 360-degree perspective of the Chocolate Hills plus the blue sea that separates Bohol and Cebu. The peak now has a restaurant and a children’s park with Bugs Bunny, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and various other Toontown figures. Aside from the function hall and viewing deck, a hotel, swimming pool, driving range, a butterfly dome and a tarsier sanctuary are planned. A 100-hectare (250-acre) golf course is also planned.
Patria Aurora Roa, tourism director for Central Visayas, was happy to see the latest addition to Bohol's tourist attractions. This was echoed by Bohol Governor Erico Aumentado, who said: "The Sagbayan Peak is a welcome note for Bohol tourism."

Bohol Video
The people of Bohol are said to be the descendants of the last group of inhabitants who settled in the Philippines called pintados or “tattooed ones.” Boholanos already had a culture of their own as evidenced by the artifacts dug at Mansasa, Tagbilaran, and in Dauis and Panglao.
Bohol is derived from the word Bo-ho or Bo-ol.The island was the seat of the first international treaty of peace and unity between the native king Datu Sikatuna, and Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi, on March 16, 1565 through a blood compact alliance known today by many Filipinos as the Sandugo.
