It's July and it only means one thing: Bohol's most festive month has arrived.

July is the Sandugo month in Bohol and despite the gloomy weather, the entire province will be filled with high spirits of joy and merriment, parading its vibrant colors for the world to see.  What makes this year's edition of the Sandugo even more special is Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan  (TBTK) 2015 where global Boholanos come back to their "yutang minahal" (beloved land).
Many activities are lined up for this year's month-long mardi gras.  There is the coronation of this year's new quintessential beauty of Bohol --- Miss Sandugo 2015, the nightly activities, and of course, the Streetdancing Competition.
