“We’re doing it gradually. Tourists are also testing the waters to see how safe it is for them to travel [during this time],” Marites Castro, operations chief officer of the Department of Tourism in the Calabarzon region, said on Monday.Mario Mamon, Enchanted Kingdom chair and president, said only about 200 people showed up on Saturday, among them Cavite resident Jake Villa, 25, who just happened to be in the vicinity with his girlfriend and decided to check out the park.
“Nakakapanibago . It was like we rented the entire place to ourselves,” Villa said in a phone interview. “Incidentally, it was also our silver anniversary this year,” he said, adding that the pandemic dampened the park’s “record-high” tourist arrival of 1.9 million in 2019.In June, the DOT said Calabarzon lost P113.7 million, but the amount could be higher as it computed losses in the remaining quarters of the year, Castro said.
“What’s important is we’re still here,” Mamon said. He said none of the park’s close to 500 employees were laid off.
