@Hanktank Yep. And the lockdown gave them an opportunity to further control the number of people. Pre-pandemic, it was hard to do because there will be a lot of complaints, now it's everyone just accepts it.

@youronlyone
I worked with several Filipine colleagues in my railway-life that ended in 2004.
Some from Bohol.
I got very inspired by that island. With the Tarsiers, Chocolate Mountains , beautiful nature. And the motivation of the local government to keep it that way.
No disco, nightclubs etc.
Probably the reason Bohol is still white on that map, not for the maddening crowds ?( I am from Amsterdam, we know what maddening crowds are .🙂 )

This #Philippines travel map is currently circulating in social web. I even found it in the #fediverse.
Basically, it is a map which allows you to mark how many Philippine provinces you have visited. You can mark a province as “passed”, “alighted”, “visited”, “stayed”, and “lived”, other than the default “never been there”. It then gives you a score.
You don't have to worry if you are not familiar with #Philippine #geography, as the web app will show a pop-up with a name of the province.
The only catch, it counts independent cities as part of the province it used to belong to. For example, #Angeles City has been an independent city for years now, which means they are no longer under, and no longer belong to, the Province of #Pampanga.
If one wants to be 100% accurate, the source code is available at: https://github.com/denzdelvillar/philippine-map-app
It was inspired by the #Japan travel #map located here: https://zhung.com.tw/japanex/
So, what's your score? Mine is a shameful 57. I'm still a foreigner in my own country. ^_^;;
