The life expectancy in the province is greater than those in Negros Oriental and Siquijor which is 72.93 for women and 68.19 for men.

Most residents in the province speak Boholano, which is a Cebuano dialect. However, since migration is a constant trend in Bohol, there are also residents who use Chinese, English and Tagalog as their primary languages. In addition, some schools in the province taught Eskayan language to their students.

Transportation to Bohol is very easy since the province is very accessible. Tourists can travel by land, air and water.

Top Beach Resort in the North is Clearwater in Pampanga Clark Philippines

Clearwater Resort & Country Club offers several styles of accommodation from US$65 up inclusive of breakfast for two at the beautiful Breakfast Garden Restaurant overlooking the large Clearwater lake and beach. This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase. A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living.

Amenities of Clark’s 13ha lake resort hotel includes lake, beach, several large and small swim spots, frolic garden, amphitheatre, picnic grounds, biking trail, fishing, airsoft shooting range, camp grounds, lawn tennis, water sports, volley ball, jogging trail, boating and kayaking. Clearwater Hotel Resort is a famous location for tourists and residents alike. This child-friendly hotel is particular appealing to families.

Room accommodation is basic, furniture a little sparse compared to resort hotels. One could characterize the lodgings to be in the class of bed-and-breakfast and not luxurious. The view from some of the rooms is quite beautiful especially in the morning. Watching sunrise in Pampanga Clark Philippines from a lake-house room at this lake resort is a memorable experience especially for visitors from Manila coming North to get away from the city with families and friends.
