Bohol Takes Part in Regional Culture Meeting
BOHOL - The Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh), through the Bohol Center for Culture and Arts Development (BCCAD), participated in the 2nd Semester Meeting of the Regional Development Council VII Special Committee on Culture, Arts, and Design (SC-CAD) on November 11, 2026, at Harolds Hotel in Cebu City. Bohol also served as the committee’s Secretariat, helping coordinate the meeting hosted by the Provincial Government of Cebu.
Ten-Year Agenda Sets Regional Cultural Priorities
One of the major topics discussed was the proposed Central Visayas Ten-Year Cultural Development Agenda for 2027–2036. The plan aims to align regional priorities, improve coordination among government agencies, and establish long-term strategies for cultural heritage preservation, artistic development, and creative industry growth. Its proposed direction provides an opportunity for provinces to work together in supporting cultural programs while protecting the traditions and identities that make each community distinct.
SugBohol Highlights Shared Cultural Connections
The gathering also emphasized the shared cultural ties between Bohol and Cebu through the spirit of SugBohol, highlighting opportunities for regional partnerships, cultural exchange, and collaboration among artists, cultural workers, and creative enterprises. Under the leadership of Governor Aris Aumentado, the provincial government continues to support Boholano heritage and creative communities. As the Philippines’ first and only UNESCO Global Geopark, Bohol also advances cultural preservation and sustainable development through its Strategic Governance Roadmap, connecting its natural and cultural heritage with long-term provincial goals.
