Davao Oriental halts coastal tourism after strong quakes

Davao Oriental Governor Nelson Dayanghirang ordered a temporary halt to all coastal tourism establishments following two strong earthquakes off Manay town.

The executive order mandates a safety assessment of all tourism structures, requiring clearance from municipal engineering offices before operations can resume.

Establishments found operating in violation of the order face administrative sanctions, including temporary closure and permit revocation.

The provincial government reported that the powerful tremors damaged infrastructures, disrupted essential services, and heightened public safety risks.

The number of families affected in the province reached 70,985 as of Saturday morning.

Sea travel in Davao Oriental remains suspended by order of the Coast Guard.
