00:00One of the advantages of Buhol is the tourism that is related to the loneliness of the whale shark or butanding.
00:07But that has been stopped for now as per the Executive Order of the Governor of the province.
00:12Eating and even a simple swim with the gentle giants of the sea
00:18is prohibited in the towns of Lila, Albuquerque, and Dawis.
00:22Eating of the butanding has a bad effect,
00:25such as pollution and bad odors in the neighboring towns,
00:29including Panglao, which is one of the prime tourist spots of the province.
00:33The operators of the Whale Shark Interaction Activities may resume operations
00:38if they follow the ordinances.
00:41Several environmental advocates and organizations were the first to advocate for whale shark feeding and swimming,
00:47which they called Ecological Trap and Peking Ecotourism.
