The sun is up and shining hot after a week of just clouds and rain though the latter makes everything fresh and green. It is the way I love Bohol because of all these lush greenery, the roadside with these intermittent spaces of bushes and flowering shrubberies of bougainvillea and gumamela flowers between nipa huts and concrete colorful ly-painted houses and even those skinny cows and timid goats grazing in them so I hope that ten years from now when we have our new international airport in our beautiful green island, I would still see all these - bush, cows and all still on the wayside of our also new and wide roads. That every inch of ground space would not all be filled with buildings to go with all this newness of commercial progress.
As a hotel catering to tourists especially foreigner ones, having a bigger airport would be a help to boost sales. Everybody's business sales in the island would shoot up, so to speak, from the icecream vendor to a hardware agent but would this last long if we don't know how to keep too these little things of nature, this rusticity that our western guests love to see. I believe it is refreshing and exotic for them to behold banana trees, rice paddies and plowing water buffalos on the wayside as much as their seeing the little native fishing boats that paddle-glide smoothly on the water not far away from the white sandy shores they are sunbathing on. Definitely not the sightseeing motor boat ones.
We at La Pernela love nature and tranquility and we hope that the people of Bohol would have the courage and wisdom to try to preserve this treasure of nature that we have already that not only make us unique but also worth visiting by tourists from the far corners of the globe even in our efforts for economic growth.
We could sell lemons in many ways - in jams, drinks, or shakes and have all kinds of machines to make them come out as such but that lemon tree should always be there and be taken care of.
