Excerpt
More than a week after Boracay’s reopening on Oct. 26, 14 tourists were fined for violating new island rules and regulations. According to Tourism secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat, these violators were caught by the Boracay Interagency Task Force (BIATF) on All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1) and All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2). “We issued citation tickets to them. If they continue violating the regulations, we may have to remove their accreditation,” Romulo-Puyat was quoted by a national daily as saying.
