Local Tourist Sports Life Vest That Looks Like Crop Top
A local tourist in Siargao goes viral because of his life vest that doesn’t fit him “Crop top po binigay sa akin”.
Social media was abuzz with the recent post from a local tourist Marco Caesar, featuring a photo of himself wearing a life vest while enjoying the scenic beauty of Siargao. As it turns out, wearing a life vest is a requirement for tourists visiting the island, regardless of their swimming abilities or knowledge.
“Required talaga magsuot ng life vest ang mga tourist sa island ng Siargao. Protocol nila yun [kahit] marunong ako ng basic na paglangoy,” Caesar said.
According to Marco, he initially hesitated to wear the life vest when it was distributed among his fellow tourists. He humorously commented that he did not apply the “get one and pass” principle from school.
As a result, he was left with no choice but to wear what was left – a small-sized vest that appeared more like a crop top than a traditional life-saving gear.
“Nagkataon, pang-kids ‘yung natira, na mukhang crop top,” he added.
While the incident may have sparked laughter, it also highlights the importance of safety protocols in tourist destinations like Siargao. The mandatory use of life vests ensures the well-being of visitors, even if they possess basic swimming skills.
It is a precautionary measure implemented to prevent accidents and promote a culture of safety and responsibility.
Beyond the fashion mishap, Marco’s story serves as a reminder for travelers to adhere to local regulations and guidelines. Respecting the rules of a destination not only guarantees personal safety but also showcases a level of cultural awareness and consideration for the environment and local communities.
Siargao, known for its stunning beaches and world-class surfing spots, has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. With the influx of visitors, it is essential to maintain the balance between enjoyment and safety.
