A fact-finding committee created by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) will conduct an investigation into the reported indecent entertainment at the Loboc River cruise.

The investigating panel, led by 3rd District Board Member Aster Apalisok-Piollo, initially looked into the plight of children and minors who are engaged by river cruise operators to entertain tourists through cultural presentations.

However, Piollo was alarmed with reports that there are women-entertainers at the popular Loboc cruise who are wearing skimpy outfits while performing in front of tourists.
In a privilege speech delivered during the SP session yesterday, Piollo said she "was disturbed by the news that the entertainers are wearing indecent attire."

Piollo, who chairs the SP committee on women and family welfare, said the brand of entertainment is "something which is against our culture and not in consonance with the eco-cultural tourism Bohol is promoting."
          
It may be recalled that last week, Merlou Reyes, a tour guide complained against a brother of Loboc Mayor Leon Calipusan who threatened her after refusing to stop by the latter's entertainment platform where the "indecent entertainers" dance with their "skimpy shorts and undershirt".
