Students, educators, and cultural advocates gathered at Buenavista Community College from June 3 to 5, 2026, for another leg of the Panaw sa Alampat 2026: Bohol Arts and Cultural Travelogue, a province-wide initiative promoting arts, culture, and heritage education among young Boholanos.
The three-day caravan is being conducted by the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh), under the leadership of Gov. Aris Aumentado, through the Bohol Center for Culture and Arts Development (BCCAD), led by officer-in-charge Emerson Pinos.
It was also made possible with the Bohol Arts, Culture, and Heritage (BACH) Council, in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Buenavista and Buenavista Community College.
Carrying the theme, “Where Arts Speak for Nature: Express. Protect. Sustain,” the program features workshops and learning sessions designed to develop participants’ artistic talents while strengthening their appreciation of Bohol’s cultural heritage and its connection to environmental stewardship.

Participants are engaged in specialized sessions covering various artistic disciplines, providing opportunities for creative expression, cultural learning, and community involvement.
College officials welcomed the initiative, noting that it offers valuable educational experiences that contribute to the artistic growth and cultural enrichment of students.
The activity forms part of the PGBh’s continuing efforts to make arts and cultural education more accessible to communities throughout the province while encouraging greater awareness and appreciation of local heritage.
As one of Bohol’s flagship cultural development programs, Panaw sa Alampat advances the province’s Strategic Change Agenda on Cultural Heritage by strengthening arts education and expanding cultural opportunities across the Bohol Island UNESCO Global Geopark.
Through sustained collaboration with local government units and educational institutions, the initiative continues to nurture future artists, cultural workers, and heritage advocates in Bohol. (PIMO/JSS)
