The Provincial Economic Office – Tourism section turned over uniforms to the pump boat crews of Jordan and Buenavista, Guimaras last June 25.
Then, the provincial government of Guimaras allocated P126,000 for their official uniform. The pumpboat crews are considered front liners in tourism. Thus, having a uniform for identification is important. Their floral shorts spell comfort and are easy to dry.
“Our governor Nene Nava (Felipe Nava) is looking after your needs as well as the tourism industry. The sector under Angie Gabinete is working on a proposal for your budget,” Charie Galia said.
“The shorts will be provided to the pump boat crews while the association will provide the shirt,” she added.

Charie Galia said that the crews are now accredited workers for the Guimaras-Iloilo-Guimaras route.
