The behavior that follows, Maria said, has crossed many lines. She and other residents have experienced multiple disturbing encounters. “Early in the morning, they make loud noises—I even had to stop them on the road. Even when you ask them nicely to slow down, mas magpaspas sila—they drive even faster, as if on purpose. It feels intentional, like they're showing they don’t have to follow our rules,” she recounted. Online and in community circles, Siargaonons have also shared troubling stories: some Israeli tourists have been caught tampering with Airbnbs, trespassing, defecating in refrigerators, leaving resorts trashed, and walking out without paying. Others reportedly leave bad reviews on small, locally owned businesses —hurting livelihoods out of spite. Some locals remain silent, worn down by fear or fatigue. But Maria refuses to be quiet. “They should be aware that even a simple verbal abuse is a threat. Calling locals ‘slaves’—calling staff ‘slaves’—that needs more awareness,” she said. Neighboring islands started to come and slowly unite as seen the same patterns on other tourist islands, even sent protest stickers to Maria and her group to take action and in support for solidarity.
