    MORONG, Bataan- Beautiful sandy beach resorts in Bagac and Morong towns are almost fully-booked for the Holy Week, municipal mayors and tourism officers said Friday.

    Provincial Tourism Officer Danica Tigas said there are 48 registered beach resorts in Morong and 16 in Bagac, all adjacent to the blue waters of the West Philippines Sea.

    “Our resorts are 99 percent booked until May 2015,” Morong Mayor Dr. Jorge Estanislao said.

    Mariane de Leon, municipal tourism officer, said there are 56 beach resorts in Morong of which 48 are registered and members of the Morong Registered Resort Owners’ Association.

    More than 41,000 tourists came to Morong in 2014, making the mountain town No. 2 next to Balanga City in the number of tourist arrivals in Bataan. The province ranked No. 3 in Region 3 after Subic (Zambales) and Clark (Pampanga).

    “There are 51 registered life guards in Morong accredited by the Red Cross to look after our visitors,” de Leon said.

    The resort owners in coordination with the Morong police have conducted a onestop shop with regards to information and other activities on peace and order, she said.

    “Tourist police assistance per directive of Mayor Estanislao is active 24/7,” de Leon said.

    Mayor Ramil del Rosario said resorts in Bagac are almost 100 percent booked for the Holy Week. “Police are always on alert to respond to any eventuality,” he said.
