“Jirah was the absolute best thing about this trip. From the get-go, she made sure our group was comfortable with each other. All day, we were talking to each other and looking out for each other. She also made sure she helped everyone take photos in great spots. She shared the history of each place and how Bohol is taking care of preserving them. You can tell the pride she has in being a Boholano and being able to share the beauty of the province with others.”
