"Buong puwersa ng batas ang ipapataw sa mga may-ari at operator ng resort kasama na ang mga nag-swimming at ang mga pinuno ng barangay na tila nagpabaya sa kanilang tungkulin," Malapitan said in a Facebook post Sunday, after photos of people swimming at the resort circulated on social media.

Gubat sa Ciudad management, officials of Barangay 171and guests caught swimming will be charged for violating COVID-19 health protocols, he said.
