Aftermath of Bohol earthquake and Typhoon Yolanda
As we approach the year mark for both the Bohol earthquake and super typhoon Yolanda, which devastated many parts of the central Philippines, I thought it was appropriate to go back and see the progress and rebuilding efforts. Our first stop will take us from the old Hilton port in Maribago Lapu Lapu to the northern Bohol port of Getafe. From their we will travel south to Tubigon and on to Tagbilarin. This trip will bypass the beautiful island of Panglao southeast of Tagbilarin, we'll save that for the next trip. Also, we will travel up to Talibon, our last place of residence in Bohol, to see how the rebuilding efforts there. So, be sure to log back in to see updated photos and info on the progress of rebuilding in the Philippines.
