LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The coldest town in this province is crafting a dress code rule for tourists as it prepares to open its tourist sites before the end of the year.
In a phone interview on Saturday, Mayor Raymundo Sarac of Atok said the rule will be part of the tourism ordinance and plan stipulating restrictions, entrance fee, and environmental fee, among others.
Sarac said that after a briefing on the ordinance, arriving tourists will be requested to wear clothing that fits the weather and will not annoy the locals’ culture.
“We need to respect the local culture and upon their (tourists) arrival and before proceeding to the different tourist destinations, there will be an orientation to inform them about our people, our culture, and the place,” he said in the Ilocano dialect.
Two women and a man from Santa Maria pleaded not guilty last week to fraud-related charges in which theyâre accused of using a California home to collect more than $390,000 in state medical benefits over more than a decade while living in Nevada.Â
Seferino Hernandez and Eden Bautista, both 59, and Thelma Pedroche, 62, appeared via Zoom before Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Patricia Kelly on Dec. 7 and entered their pleas to the charges, including presenting a false Medi-Cal claim and criminal conspiracy.
Additionally, Bautista and Pedroche each received an enhancement accusing them of stealing more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded benefits.
Specifically, Hernandez, Bautista and Pedroche are accused of fraudulently collecting funds from January 2005 to December 2016 for the state s in-home support services program, which allows non-medical personal care for elderly and disabled individuals in their own homes, instead of long-term care facilities, according
