The elders and religious leaders in our community recently reminded us that the Cuyunon and the religious institutions of Palawan have always valued modesty.
When tourism first opened up in El Nido few years ago, it has always been welcomed with open arms. However, the elders requested that tourists not walk around Town in their swimming suits and trunks. Of course, this does not apply on beaches and on the islands, but here in town they asked for people to wear a coverup or clothes.
When the Tourism Code was updated in 2019, this was written into the law: โTourists are not allowed to walk in any street in El Nido wearing swim suit or swimming trunks.โ
Could you help us honor our elders and religious beliefs, and abide by our local traditions and laws?
Thank you very much!
