From the Bohol Standard (Sep 30):  Lifting Bohol out of poverty list, Gov. Rico’s defining moment

Rep. Erico B. Aumentado bared that his winning moments as governor for 9 years were “moving out Bohol from Club 20, the 20 poorest provinces of the Philippines, and ending the over four decades of communist insurgency therein”....  In the anti- insurgency front, Col. Allan Luga, then 802nd Brigade commander, declared that the 4 communist fronts in Bohol were being dismantled in 2009. Consequently, Maj. Gen. Arthur Tabaquero, 8th Infantry Division commanding general, and P/Chief Supt. Lani-O Nerez, PNP Central Visayas commander, with then Defense Sec. Norberto Gonzales officially declared Bohol as insurgency free on February 11, 2010 during the inauguration of the rebel returnees’ Bayanihan Center, a joint project of the provincial government, the Presidential Management Staff and OPAPP in Remedios, Danao.
