For this edition of VOX POPULI, The Bohol Tribune is featuring the netizens’ comments and answers to a question regarding the REOPENING OF BOHOL TOURISM for MICE events. MICE is the acronym for activities like Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions.
The survey question was: ANDAM NA BA TA NGA MUDAWAT UG BISITA SA ATONG LALAWIGAN NGA GIKAN SA UBANG DAPIT? NGANO MAN?
The netizens’ answers/comments to the question are the following:
- from Rodolfo Madanguit: Hehehe… Slla ray nahibawo ana….Lami untag DI MANAWAT HANGTUD FREE NA JUD.
- from Lourdes Aida Cagas Batoy:Makabuot diay ta nga di man ta tinugyanan baw nila.
- from Cecille Requierme: Morag dili pa angay Mam Ards.
- from Emilou C. Manlubatan Gonzaga: Mam idol.. hahayyyy.
- from Brandon F. Bon:Why not? Mudawat ta ug dili, ang importante, wear mask and social distancing. Each of us should be responsible now. Dili nang bisan kinsa ang basulon. The only way to stop the virus is dili lang solely sa govt, the health sector or anyone else but “US”. Kita ra mismo ang maka pagan. Pero kung dili kita responsible, mag padayon kini.
- from Erwin Baquial: Dili pa. Certificates can easily be had. Contact tracing of the people they met OUTSIDE BOHOL is next to impossible. Once their is even 1 tourist that is infected with CoViD that may cause infections to locals, everything will explode on the faces of people wanting to open Bohol to tourists and repairing the damage done will be a tremendous task on months to come.
- from Kag. Benedicto Alcala: Dili pa dili gani ta modawat ug taga ato nga nakaila ta unsana kaha ning turista nga wa takaila
- from Chona Rabuya Cuñado: Mam dili sa gyod unta modawat.
- from Corazon Garcia:For me.. Big NO.. Kitang tanan aware ug unsay reasons.. Y man pugson.. Y apat nga mag una!!! My personal opinion.
- from Atty. Aster Apalisok Piollo:As if our opinion will matter, but for the sake of discussion, it’s ok to accept people from other places provided they and we will follow prescribed safety protocol, regardless of who you are especially officials way palusotay. Officials should set a good example implementation should be done equally by all and for all.
- from Nicanora Caballo Marapao: dili pa gud angayan unya nagtoo diay mo ug duna daghan turista modung ning sitwasyon karon? ana…duna gani mga local nga nidong dha sa mga resort sa Panglao duro pangaligo sa mga resort mga kan-anan hala way social distancing way mask nangaligo sa dagat murag way covid unya mga tagagawas modung deri maka obserba hala motoo kaha Para Panglao raman tingali gusto ma open Pero wa ta mahimo kay dili man kitang mga ordinaryong tawo magbuot, puede suwayan basin ug mawa
- from Madam XYZ: Ah basta, ug mudaghan ang covid covid, sila maoy angay nga manubag. Pero ug dili mudaghan, labing maajo..
- from Nestor de la Paz:Kana kay ila na bang buksan, andam na tingali. Dili ba kaha pud na nila seradohan ug balil?
- from Josefina Opada: I understand the wisdom behind the reopening of the tourism industry in Bohol. Many people are suffereing from poverty. There are those who can’t anymore buy medicines and basic things. This is all because their job opportunities are being hampered. The answer is both yes and no: Yes we are ready if we have the discinpline and No we are not ready if we do not practice the protocols and other health measures. Like the boy who has the bird in his hand, the success of this REOPENING depends on our hand.
- from Josefina Opada: Kuwang na man gud ta ug ampo. Ang tinuod gyud unta nga pangutana mao nga nganong gisilutan na man ta sa Ginoo? Gapabaya na man gud ta. Dili na gani ta mahinumdum moluhod ug mangaliya sa Kahitas-an. Gasalig na ta sa atong katakus. Naa pay mga lideres nga sige ug panggilalis. UNDANGA NA NINYO NA HOY.
- from Cipriano Cadorna: Everything will boil down to firm belief in the discipline of the people. I am afraid that if more people will be allowed to come, we will forget the basics of health protection. Maybe we will just be pabaya sa atong mga gipanghimo kay mubati na man tau g kalipay sa mga bisita nga umanhiay. Magbantay lang gyud ta ug disipllina ang kailangan sa pag-alis ng virus.
- from Ricarda Regencia: Ang gadugang sa kakulba ka yang usob usob nga pamalakad sa mga protocol. Naay gipili nga pahamtangan ug silot ug naa poy gipili nga i-limong limong. Hangtud dili ta patas sa atong pamalakad sa balaod, dili gyud ta mouswag sa atong katilingban.
