As many areas shift to loosened quarantine measures, several residents of Boracay have questioned the continued ban on swimming along the island’s famous white beach. | nestorburgosINQ

Acting Mayor Frolibar Bautista of Malay, which has jurisdiction over Boracay, earlier said swimming remained prohibited to avoid the congestion of people on the beach and to maintain physical distancing.“The kids have been cooped up for two months and we have no parks for them to play and schools are obviously closed … Tell us why you can’t allow us this freedom when there are zero cases, no tourists, and when [we can regulate] beach use with social distancing,” Santiago said.

Other residents said walking and swimming on the beach were essential for both physical and mental health amid severe economic difficulties and months of restrictions.A limited number of jeepneys and buses will ply their routes again on Monday in Iloilo province and Iloilo City, but the number of passengers will be reduced. Only those wearing masks will be allowed to ride the vehicles.More establishments have been allowed to open, including department stores, barbershops and hair salons.
