Quezon City Rep. Marvin Rillo on Sunday urged local government units and resort operators to remain vigilant in promoting the safety of tourists across the country.
“We must never let our guard down when it comes to ensuring public safety at all times in our tourist destinations,” said Rillo, vice chairman of the House Committee on Tourism.

Rillo’s call came on the hells of the death of Slovakian tourist Michaela Mickova whose body was found in an abandoned chapel on Boracay Island on March 12.
“We are counting on the authorities to swiftly apprehend the individuals responsible for this horrible crime,” Rillo said in a statement. “Every effort must be made to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure they are held accountable.”
