For this edition of VOX POPULI, the Bohol Tribune ventured on getting the response of the netizens regarding their faith in the Almighty Father amidst the backdrop of the Covid 19 pandemic.
The question sent to the people was:
Bisan sa atong kahimtang ug kalisdanan karon sa Covid 19 pandemia, daghan pa ba kita ug angay pasalamatan sa KAHITAS-AN kabahin sa atong kinabuhi? Unsa man ning angay natong pasalamatan?
