As we all know, anywhere in the world, tourism is one of the sources of income of each country. While borders are now being strict and airports are now being closed and flights have been cancelled since March 11, when the virus was declared Pandemic by the World Health Organization or the WHO.  

 

Philippines is a beautiful country because of the islands with white beaches. One of the famous destinations of the country is the whale sharks in Oslob, where local and foreign tourists come and go just to get close with these gentle giants. So, if you may ask how did they survive in times of crisis like this?
