CEBUANOS NOW have more places to visit as the Anjo World Theme Park in Minglanilla town has finally reopened.
Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, together with the Provincial Board (PB) members and the Tourism Task Force officially re-opened the town’s tourism industry. Anjo World, an amusement park located in Barangay Calajoan, was closed for eight months because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the re-opening of the theme park, Garcia said it is time to resuscitate the Cebuanos’ livelihoods. She said Covid-19 is manageable and not as deadly based on Cebu’s 92.7 percent recovery rate. “What’s deadly is the mismanagement of Covid-19 and what’s deadlier is the shutting down the economy,” Garcia stated, emphasizing that Cebu Province is now “moving on and moving forward.”
Minglanilla Mayor Elanito Peña expressed his gratitude to Garcia, who chairs the Tourism Task Force, for helping them since the pandemic hit until now. Peña said he is excited for the tourists to visit and experience what the town can offer.
Aside from Anjo World, Minglanilla is known for its Sugat Kabanhawan Festival held every Easter Sunday. The local government is also developing a waterfall in their municipality called the Kawasan Falls. Many of the different Cebu tourist sites and activities have also reopened following a series of consultations conducted by the governor with various tourism stakeholders and government agencies.
Garcia also issued Executive Order No. 20-A which laid down the protocols and guidelines for the tourism reopening to ensure the health and safety of the tourists. PB members Yolanda Daan, Raul Bacaltos, and Glenn Anthony Soco thanked the governor for providing a clear direction for Cebu, especially in the revival of the tourism industry that is the main economic driver of the Province.
Tourism operators and other stakeholders also expressed their gratitude to Garcia for bringing back their businesses which benefits not just them but their employees as well.
More than half of the local governments in Cebu are now Covid-free and a few dozen active cases remain. The Provincial Health Office said these are Bogo City, Carcar City, Alcoy, Alegria, Aloguinsan, Asturias, Bantayan, Barili, Boljoon, Borbon, Carmen, Catmon, Compostela, Daanbantayan, Dumanjug, Ginatilan, Dalaguete, Ginatilan, Madridejos, Malabuyoc, Medellin, Moalboal, Oslob, Pilar, Poro, Samboan, San Fernando, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Santander, Sogod, Tabogon, Tabuelan, and Tudela.
