TAGBILARAN CITY – The impressive management against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) situation in Bohol province has won the nod of the national government to make the province one of the models for the reopening of Philippine tourism and stirring back the economy.
National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19 chief implementer Carlito Galvez Jr. and deputy chief implementer Vivencio Dizon announced this when they visited Bohol recently to deliver the first polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machine for the molecular laboratory of the Gov. Celestino Gallares Hospital.
Considering that tourism is one of the primary sources of livelihood of the people, the national government will explore how it can reopen a new avenue for the tourism industry with Bohol and Baguio as models of the new face of the economy under the “new normal”, Galvez said.
Reopening would be gradual that will start with local tourism for the meantime, considering that there is no vaccine against the coronavirus yet. As proposed by President Rodrigo Duterte, there will be a simulation of business reopening in June after putting in place new protocols.
“Influx of OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) will be there. But we can have the opportunities that our resorts will be converted into quarantine areas. At least kumita (earning) because they will be paid by OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration),” Galvez said.
Galvez assured that President Duterte will “always help” Bohol in giving back jobs to those who had lost them due to Covid-19 health crisis. (Angeline Valencia)
