The famous shark encounter will remain the top attraction in this charming coastal town in southern Cebu despite online claims that the marine animals had disappeared here, according to the local tourism office. The Tourism Office of Oslob clarified on Friday, May 22, that whale shark interaction activities were not permanently closed and that the animals were only seen feeding in a neighboring barangay because of the seasonal abundance of plankton.
