The Aklan mayor said that the visitors need to comply with all the requirements before entering the famous haven. He also explained that the stricter rules might cause a fewer number of tourists visiting the island.
“Hindi pa naman masyadong marami, siyempre alam mo naman may mga kaunting requirements na kailangan, so ‘yun ang nakapagbigay kaunti na parang inconvenient,” Bautista said.
