Why Bohol? Geography

THE EAR - The Freeman

There is another reason why Abu Sayyaf bandits chose Bohol to be a target, aside from the ASEAN meetings there, according to an Ear source who was once part of the military. He said the island's geography makes it ideal for waging insurgency. Like Cebu Island is has a central mountain range as a feature, but unlike Cebu Island which is linear in shape, Bohol Island is more box-like, with the central mountain range dominating the center, this gives those who want to hide many places to do so, aside from providing ample "running room" when they need to flee.
