AIR ASIA AND AMORITA RESORT: A BOHOL NEW WORLD!

       I've mentioned in the past that even though I lived in Cebu for quite some time as a child, I had never been able to visit the neighboring Bohol until I became a blogger. After a short visit in February of this year for the Ubi Festival, I had the fortunate opportunity to visit the beautiful "City of Friendship" once again, care of Air Asia and Amorita Resort in Panglao!  

BEHOLD: BOHOL'S 2016 UBI FESTIVAL!

            Since I lived a great deal of my life in the neighboring Cebu, I was awfully surprised to discover that the beautiful City of Bohol celebrates an annual "Ubi Festival", held last January 27-29. It has only been going on for 16 years so it was understandable why I had never heard of it.. And I was uncertain what exactly "Ubi" was. The spelling initially threw me off, but upon further inquiry, I was ensured that the the festival was in honor of the Purple Yam that we all know and love. 

         But as it turns out, there's some much more about ube that I don't know about, and Air Asia, together with the Bohol Provincial Tourism Council Inc., and in partnership with the United States of America International Development, would help me learn more about, including why the crop is so close to the hearts of the good people of Bohol.
