However, there is an exception with reference to travel for ‘medical purposes,’” Balesin Island Club chair Roberto Ongpin said in a letter dated March 22 obtained by the DOT. “All Balesin visitors were required to undergo an Immunity Booster Program at Aegle Wellness Center. Aegle Wellness Center is an extensive medical facility on Balesin, which is staffed by doctors and other medical personnel on a 24/7 basis,” the resort’s statement read. Bengzon, however, said this time, the DOT does not consider the resort’s immunity program as a medical emergency. Probe into Balesin Island ClubPuyat reportedly said the DOT would launch a probe into the immunity program of Balesin.
