Provincial Government of Bohol

What Provincial Government of Bohol does

The Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) is a local government unit (LGU) of the Republic of the Philippines exercising statutory governance authority over Bohol province under the Local Government Code of 1991. Its jurisdiction spans 3 legislative districts comprising 47 municipalities and 1 component city (Tagbilaran City), served by 30+ provincial offices including the Governor's Office, Planning and Development, Agriculture, Veterinary, Tourism, Environment, Health, Hospitals, Education Development, Engineering, Disaster Management, and others. The current administration is led by Governor Aris Aumentado with the 30th Bohol Legislature (Sangguniang Panlalawigan) under Vice Governor Pacifico Nicanor S. Besas, Jr.

PGBh delivers its services through a hybrid physical-digital model: physical service delivery via the New Capitol Building headquarters in Tagbilaran City and 47 municipal LGUs acting as distributed touchpoints, complemented by digital channels including the official WordPress-based portal (bohol.gov.ph), an ePayment portal for online fee transactions, a Bids and Awards Committee portal for procurement transparency, a DILG Full Disclosure Compliance portal for financial disclosures, and a Facebook page (BoholGovPH) plus monthly e-newsletter/quarterly magazine for citizen communications. The approved FY 2024 operating appropriation is PhP4,096,338,593.00 with a proposed Annual Investment Program of PhP17,879,250,705.00 including PhP12,896,287,016.00 in external funding requirements.

The entity generates revenue through statutory local taxes and fees under the Provincial Revenue Code, supplemented by national government allocations (Internal Revenue Allotment), grants from partners such as the World Bank (US$600M PRDP Scale Up loan), and loans from Land Bank of the Philippines and Development Bank of the Philippines. Strategic positioning is anchored on the Bohol Strategic Change Agenda covering 8 priority areas (Environmental Sustainability, Sustainable Tourism, Climate-Smart Agriculture, Entrepreneurship, Workforce Development, Governance, Health and Social, Infrastructure and Utilities), leveraging Bohol's distinction as the first and only UNESCO Global Geopark in the Philippines as a key differentiator for tourism and sustainable development.

Core offering

The Provincial Government of Bohol is the local government unit (LGU) administering the province of Bohol in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. It delivers public services including healthcare through provincial hospitals, agricultural extension, tourism promotion, environmental management, disaster risk reduction, education development, infrastructure, and social welfare. It coordinates 47 municipalities and 1 component city (Tagbilaran City) and operates online portals for e-payments, transparency disclosures, and legislative documents.

Product overview

The Provincial Government of Bohol operates primarily as a traditional local government unit providing public services rather than a technology product company. The government offers a suite of digital services through its official website (bohol.gov.ph), including an ePayment portal for online fee payments, transparency disclosure portals for financial and procurement data, and access to legislative documents (ordinances and resolutions). The government serves 47 municipalities across three legislative districts through these online channels, supplemented by physical offices including Governor's Office, Planning and Development, Agriculture, Veterinary, Tourism, Environment, Health, Hospitals, and various other administrative departments. The digital portfolio represents government-to-citizen (G2C) and government-to-business (G2B) service delivery channels rather than commercial product offerings.
