Today is the last day of the clean-up, but the dive site and sandbar will remain closed until Monday next week, said Mayor Jose Tumulak. &quot;Mopahuway lang sa ang isla for three days sa pagkakaron,&quot; Tumulak said.(The island will rest for three days, for now.)On Monday, Tumulak and his team will go back to assess the island before they open it again on Tuesday. A meeting with stakeholders will also be held to float the idea of closing the island for a week every quarter. The only resort on the island said its bookings have not been affected by the rehabilitation, but some clients are asking why they can&#x27;t access the sandbar. Based on the decision of the mayor, they may only use the beach on the side of the island.
