EXPLANATORY NOTE
ThePayayasogBeachlocatedatBarangayMangansagintheMunicipalityofCorcuera,
Province of Romblon, is one of the potential tourist destinations in the province.  This beach
is famous for its unique rock formation which is similar to a scrotum that hangs along the
shore.
Aside  from  this  attraction,  the  beach  is  blessed  with  sugary  sand  coupled  with
volcanic boulders and lush flora which enhance the magnificent view of the beach.
This  Payayasog  Beach  has  an  enormous  tourism  potential  which  could  generate
revenues and job opportunities  for the local community if properly developed.  Declaring
the same to be a tourism destination would achieve all the aforementioned benefits.
Thus, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
