JCI Week 2025
The "Land of the Chocolate Hills" took center stage in April 2025 as JCI Boholana Kisses hosted the National Launching of JCI Week for the first time in the chapter's history under the banner "Bohol Nasad Ta Bai!"

The milestone was made possible through the collaboration of JCI Boholana Kisses, JCI Bohol Sandugo, JCI Bohol Limestone, and JCI Chocolate Hills, with Sean Hene serving as National Launching Project Chairperson and helping coordinate between the national leadership and the local organizing teams.
The day began with a 7:30 AM Holy Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral, followed by a 9:00 AM motorcade along J.A. Clarin Street to Tagbilaran City Hall. The 10:00 AM official program carried the National Anthem, the JCI Creed, welcoming remarks from Mayor Jane C. Yap, a ceremonial ribbon cutting, and a nationwide livestream on the official JCI Philippines Facebook page.
National President Thirdie Chua delivered the message, followed by a Couch Talk on Autism Awareness for World Autism Month, the ONCD segment, and Regional Vice President Deb Jomarleh Ucang's closing message. The morning concluded with fellowship and lunch at Dao Diamond Hotel and Restaurant, showing how local chapters can work together to deliver an initiative with national reach.
