We have to revive the businesses. Ang mga negosyo nga apektado, ang mga hotels nga nagsira diri sa atun, we have to revive them because kadamo gid sang trabaho nga madula. Nabatian ko ang Mansion Hotel will be closing in the second week of June,&quot; Treñas said.(The affected businesses, the hotels that closed, we have to revive them because a lot of jobs will be lost. I heard the Mansion Hotel will close in the second week of June.)Treñas pledged to help revive the hotel industry by encouraging government agencies to let OFW repatriates stay in hotels during their quarantine period.&quot;Maybe we can get these hotels nga magbaton sang mga OFWs. May mga pondo man ang OWWA. Makabulig na ni sa aton economy,&quot; he said.(Maybe we can get these hotels to accept OFWs. The OWWA has available funds. This can help our economy.)He also encouraged everyone to embrace the &quot;new normal&quot; moving forward.
