Bohol Gov. Erico Aristotle Aumentado expresses optimism on March 18, 2025 that tourist arrivals will increase once the privatization of the Bohol-Panglao International Airport is fully implemented. He said Aboitiz Infra would take over the airport's operations, citing the successful management of the Mactan Cebu International Airport under the same company as a sign of progress. Aumentado created a task force to address the ongoing issue of overpricing in the province, which has affected both locals and tourists. Reports of inflated prices, particularly in tourist areas, have raised concerns that even basic commodities have become unaffordable for some residents. Aumentado said the task force would closely monitor market prices, enforce compliance with suggested retail rates, and take action again. VIDEO BY KAISER JAN FUENTES
