Dear Bambarkada, Good news for the tourism sector here in the Philippines. The Senate ratified the Bayanihan 2 bill with P165.5 billion for pandemic response. 10 billion pesos have been allotted for the tourism sector, there is hope for our Bambike Ecotours and other tourism related businesses! 🎋🇵🇭🚴🏽 We are hopeful, and with fingers crossed, that we can avail of some of the support along with other micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). For us, this support could come in the form of a soft loan that would help us bambounce back once tourism activities can resume in the country. Thank you for your continued support. Ingat and Bambuhay! Bambest regards, Bryan #bambike #bamboobike
