Child Tourist Safety Act or “Sandy’s Act” (Senate Bill No. 1926) passed!
The seeks to strengthen safety standards, emergency preparedness, and access to medical assistance in tourism destinations.
A step toward ensuring that no child or family goes on vacation hoping to create happy memories, only to have it end in tragedy.
We honor Sandy Garovillas, whose life was tragically cut short in 2023, and her parents, who chose to turn their unimaginable loss into a legacy of water safety and drowning prevention. Through their courage and advocacy, Sandy’s story can help protect other children and families.
The Senate passage of Sandy’s Act is a meaningful step forward. 🇵🇭 May her memory continue to inspire action and help create safer pools, beaches, resorts, and communities.
Thank you Senator Risa Hontiveros for championing this bill.
