Balikbayans arrive for homecoming
Since last week, Boholano balikbayans have been arriving from all over the world to take part in the 2009 Tigum Bol-anon sa Tibook Kalibutan (TBTK) which officially reeled off last Tuesday.
Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo herself welcomed the balikbayans by opening the doors of Malacanang to a guided tour. TBTK President Betty Veloso Garcia and Genaro Lapez, president of the Boholano Association of Metro Manila, Inc (BAMMI) led the Boholanos during the Palace tour escorted by Rep. Edgar Chatto, chairman of the House committee on tourism.
As balikbayans started to trickle in, registrations started at the Metro Centre Hotel, this city with a full staff of TBTK secretariat.
