Earthquake info box[edit]

The quake mentioned was in Oct 2013. Can this box now be removed? Updated?

More generally, what warnings do we need for earthquake-prone or typhoon-prone regions in the Philippines or elsewhere? The paragraph about hazards near the end of Retiring_abroad#Information_sources has links to some maps. Should those links, or more specific links, be given elsewhere as well? Or other maps used?

I was not aware of the Earthquake safety article until I searched. Looks like this is mostly covered. Pashley (talk) 10:36, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Panglao airport?[edit]

This article has the text:

Panglao Island International Airport is under construction, with plans to open in August 2018.

Does anyone have up-to-date information on that? Pashley (talk) 22:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Originally scheduled for 2021, then August 2018, then delayed to October, latest I have seen is Bohol Panglao Airport opening moved to November 2018. That article says Nov 22 and w:Panglao Island International Airport says Nov 27. Does anyone know the current status? Pashley (talk) 02:08, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When it does open, both this article and Panglao_Island#By_plane will need updating. Pashley (talk) 14:36, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Airlines moving operations to New Bohol Airport in Panglao as old airport closes says it opened Nov 28. Can anyone confirm? Should we update the articles? Pashley (talk) 02:30, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
w:Bohol–Panglao International Airport has been updated, now says it opened on 28th. Pashley (talk) 02:59, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Articles updated, but more detail is likely needed. In particular, will there be commercial flights from Asian hubs now that Bohol has an airport that can handle big planes? 03:15, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Transwiki?[edit]

Do we want to start a travel topic using the transwiki from w:List of Bohol festivals? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:03, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it is worth a separate article; that would be a slippery slope since more-or-less every town in the Philippines has at least one fiesta, on its patron saint's day, & big ones like Sinulog are celebrated in many towns. We do not want a festivals travel topic for each province.
Adding some to province or city articles is fine. A single travel topic for fiestas across the country might be too. Pashley (talk) 01:23, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bohollywood?[edit]

I ran across an ad for this, a "see the world in one place" park with replicas of famous sites. It looks fairly awful to me, but it might interest some, so perhaps is worth a link.
