manga boat building

alberto belano, manga boat-maker, bohol

my dad and i drove to manga, bohol, where folks are known for boat building. the boat builder was not available but we did speak with his wife who shared that boat building has been passed on from father to son. commercialized plywood and other types of wood are bought from a lumber store; also fiber glass are now used for boat building. some locals shared that there are no more big trees for whole logs available in bohol.
