Dajon!

Welcome to bocudelights! And, no, it's not a misspelling. It's deliberate. Most of the write-ups here were originally published in LifestyleBohol of the Bohol Chronicle, which makes this blog a repository of my previous write-ups (although I've made substantial updates on them) . Of course, I'll also be posting some new ones too; when I feel like it. ;D

Anyway, this blog is all about what's delightful in Boholano culture. It's slightly heavier fare than just light reading but I do hope you'll read on and enjoy. Daghang salamat, kaninyo, ug balik-balik!
