More than 80 ASEAN delegates from the energy sector embarked on a curated cultural tour of Bohol on Thursday (Jan. 22), that showcased the province’s historic churches, museums, and centuries-long traditions.
Anchored on the Cebuano word “handumanan”, which means remembrance or keepsake, the tour was designed as a reflective journey through Bohol’s rich history and identity, highlighting how cultural heritage supports tourism development and destination storytelling.
Organized by the Department of Tourism (DOT), the half-day itinerary brought the delegates to the National Museum of the Philippines–Bohol, Baclayon Church, Alburquerque Church, and Bohol Bee Farm.
As the lead agency in the Committee on Hospitality, Tours, Site Enhancements, and Events, the DOT has prepared a series of tours for ASEAN delegates from different sectors which are set to take place all throughout the year.
Earlier, the participating delegates attended the Special Senior Officials Meeting on Energy (SOME) organized by the Department of Energy as part of the Philippines’ hosting of ASEAN 2026.
