A furious Bohol Gov. Aris Aumentado has offered a cash reward to anyone who could provide information that would lead to the identification of the tour guides who allowed divers to vandalize coral stones in one of the province’s top dive sites. Aumentado offered ɾ200,000 for the identification of the boatmen and tour guides who allegedly collected additional fees from tourists to enable them to write their names on coral stones at the Estaca Dive Site in Puntud Island (formerly Virgin Island), Panglao Island.
