DOT 'taking seriously' reports of overpriced food in Panglao

In a statement, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco said Governor Aris Aumentado and Mayor Boy Arcay have also taken initial steps at regulating food prices at the tourist spots.

"The alleged overpricing of seafood by vendors in Virgin Island, Panglao, Bohol is a matter that the Department of Tourism takes seriously especially as it concerns the welfare of tourists whose continued support for our destinations is critical to the recovery of the tourism industry," Frasco said.

The DOT is also coordinating with the Department of Trade and Industry "as it is imperative that reasonable pricing standards are upheld for purposes of consumer protection."
