Morong, Bataan - Impressed by its pristine beaches and crystal clear waters, this province has been cited by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and visiting newsmen as a magnet for tourism. Among the most beautiful beaches of the province are in Poblacion, here, such as the White Corals and its nearby resorts, together with the Pawikan Conservation Center. <\/p>\n
The center is a pet project of spouses Gov. Enrique and Mrs. Vicky Garcia. Their son, incoming governor Abet S. Garcia, is determined to further develop the area as a haven for the pawikan. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a world-class resort hotel owned by construction magnate Jerry Acuzar in Bagac town, is another tourist draw identified by Garcia. <\/p>\n
Recently, newsmen who visited Morong's beaches were impressed. \"Halos kasing ganda ng Boracay ang mga beaches dito (The beaches here are almost beautiful as Boracay),\" said newsman Ferdinand Castro. <\/p>\n
Castro's group, though, called on Morong Mayor Cynthia Linao Estanislao and the DOT to regulate the rate of rentals of beach resorts in the area to be more competitive especially to domestic tourists. DOT Regional Director Ronnie Tiotuico said foreign tourists spend at least $85 or over P3,000 on rest and recreation (RNR) in famed spots of Central Luzon. \"A foreign tourist, on the average, normally stays four to seven days in the region,\" he said.
