Bohol is usually not an option for large BPO firms because of its lack of telecom facilities especially the required fiber optic connectivity to Cebu. However, because small operators of BPO services do not require the capacity of fiber optic connections, these have started to open shop here in Bohol. The obvious advantages are low cost manpower, a good working environment and of course, the ability to go out and relax anytime at any of the resorts in the province.

If you are interested, you may visit Bohol’s office of the Department of Trade and Industry in Tagbilaran City to get the details.

1. If you see someone flash their headlights, that doesn’t mean he is letting you go ahead. That means he wants to go ahead.

2. Solid lines on the road isn’t followed so just be careful since someone might pass even on this areas.

3. Don’t “argue” with trucks, buses, and other large vehicles. If they will cross the street, even if you have the right of way, let them pass. Better safe than sorry in this case. And keep your cool. The police department in your country won’t help you here.

4. At every corner, look out for crossing vehicles. Stop signs are either inexistent or are not followed. So try to “feel” the other driver… is he going to cross now? If yes, just let him pass. There is just no point asserting your right of way and raising your blood pressure. Just keep cool and understand that it is the practice here.

5. Watch out for pedestrians! They will cross the street almost anywhere other than the pedestrian line.

Is this a gloomy picture? No, not really. Driving in Tagbilaran is not too bad. Seldom would you see drivers on their throats arguing and pointing fingers. You just need to be aware of rules in your countries that are not really observed here.
