The closure of resorts and other tourism establishments in Iloilo is being considered by Iloilo Provincial Governor Arthur Defensor, Jr. for the summer of 2021.
According to Defensor, Jr., he plans to close these establishments- especially on holidays and weekends- to prevent mass gatherings during summer vacations. He gave his reason, citing the recent spike in the number of COVID-19 cases last Christmas season.
“Padayun kita mamuhin,” explains Defensor, Jr., “kay ngaa ang summer vacation puede nga mag-Christmas season na sia mo. Nakita ta ang leksyon nga kon indi ta pagpunggan malain ang numero. Basi matabo na sa Mayo subong… kon indi mo na pagkonsiderar-ron, basi mabalik kita. Amo na rason ngaa amo na direction sang province.”/PN
