Bien Unido

IJsselstein, Monday, 14 February 2011

Bien Unido is a municipality in the North of Bohol. In an executive order in 1935 two sitios in northern Trinidad were united into one barangay and was given the name of Bien Unido, a Spanish word which means "well united". In order to hasten its economic, social, cultural and political upliftment, the people of Barangay Bien Unido aspire for independence and wanted to become a municipality. This long time dream which started in 1965 became a reality when in 1981 it was approved by Batasang Pambansa Blg. 93 through the efforts of then Assemblyman Bartolomeo Cabangbang and Eutiquio Cimafranca.

The principal industries of this town are fishing, farming and mat-weaving. Fish is sold to Cebu and mats are sold to Mindanao, Leyte, and also Cebu.

NBI Satellite Office is now located in Bien Unido Public Market... For lesser effort, time and money feel free to come sa among town... Dli lisod pangitaOn ang place ug maabi-abihon ang mga tawo sa Bien Unido... Also, Bohol Yacht Club (formerly Dive Camp) is also located in Puerto San Pedro, Bien Unido, Bohol (Lawis)..
