Alburquerque Mayor Don Ritchie P. Buates (extreme right), Aug. 18, 2026. It was a great opportunity that we were able to voice out our concerns at Malacañang, the shortages in the town, and our needs to Cabinet Secretary Benhur Abalos and DILG Sec Jonvic Remulla. Let’s wait for their visit to Bohol soon because I am confident it will bring further development including to our Town. Thank you so much idol Mayor Ian Gil Garcia Mendez, son of former NBI Director Mendez, for always inviting me and other Mayors on your visits in the provinces. (Contributed photo)
