Garcia home
gets rehab fundingThe
ancestral home in the city of the late Pres. Carlos P. Garcia will soon be fully
rehabilitated to make it presentable as a "respected residence" of Bohol's
most illustrious son who became the fourth president of the Republic and first
president of the 1971 Constitutional Convention.
The
two-storey Garcia residence situated along Hontanosas Street, this city, was converted
as "Bohol Museum" in 1981 by the provincial government. However, since
the museum has moved to the Provincial Library near the Capitol building, the
CPG ancestral home was viewed to be in its prime to be reverted back as the "home
of the Boholano president."
