Kalanggaman Island is another example of how Foreign Tourists are being exploited and overcharged. Foreign Tourists expected to pay much much more than Filipino Tourists, and for what reason?

More construction and concrete on the beach of Sambawan Island. Do you think Samabwan is a risk of being over developed with more cottages, and profit put before protecting the Islands natural beauty?

Could Sambawan Island be turning into more of an Amusement Park rather than protecting its natural beauty? With plans for a Zip Line, Hanging Bridges, and many more buildings to be built.

Do much higher fee's for Tourists encourage or discourage growth in Tourism?
Growth in Tourism should be about increasing the number of visitors rather than only increasing profits through higher fee's for the Tourists.

Thank you to Rogelio Espina. Who is now investigating the growing number of reports of Tourists being overcharged at Sambawan Island, and also if the Resort Development there is legal due to the beach being an important nesting site for the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle.

Is it good for Biliran Tourism to charge Tourists and Foreigners more? Under Anti-Racial and Ethnic Discrimination Laws does it make its illegal to openly charge Locals, Tourists and Foreigners different rates?

With the high entrance fee's and unsympathetic construction on Sambawan Island many people are now choosing to avoid the Island and visit other Beaches and Resorts until the Biliran Government can arrange for the charges to be lowered not just for Locals, but for Tourists also.

What do you think is the right balance between Tourism and Nature? Over Development and Protecting the Environment? With more and more being built at Sambawan Island will it eventually lose its natural appeal?
