DAVAO City councilor urges social media influencers to observe local laws before promoting areas. Councilor Temujin “Tek” Ocampo emphasizes the need for influencers to understand and respect local ordinances to prevent uncontrollable influx of people. Ocampo plans to collaborate with the Committee on Tourism and Beautification to accredit social media vloggers and address any mistakes. This initiative aims to balance recognition for positive actions with corrective measures for any missteps. Concerns arose in November 2023 when a travel vlogger promoted recreational activities in a protected area, prompting an environment group to urge influencers to refrain from visiting such areas for leisure. Understanding and respecting rules and regulations is crucial before endorsing specific parts of the city.
