ISLAND Garden City of Samal (Igacos) Mayor Al David Uy has sent an appeal to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Davao to gradually allow the city to reopen the entire tourism industry.
The tourism industry is among the primary growth drivers of the island.
The industry has been suffering following the implementation of movement restrictions due to the ongoing threats of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.
DILG-Davao Director Alex Roldan said in a radio interview on Monday, February 15, that Igacos's appeal has already been forwarded to the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) and they are waiting for a response.
