Holy Week is a time for penance for our sins, remembering the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ and recollection asking for forgiveness. In the island province of Camiguin, this celebration is both a catholic devotion as well as a tourism event. It is highlighted by a walk around the island as a sign of sacrifice for devotees, visitors and tourists as well, locally termed as PANAAD. For this year it falls on March 25 to April 1, 2018, from Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday.

PANAAD is considered as a major tourism event in the island wherein thousands of devotees and tourists flock in the island as it is also a long weekend. As part of its preparation, the provincial government of Camiguin, all the local government units in the different municipalities and various national agencies converge their endeavors to make the event memorable to visitors and their needs are addressed during their stay in the province.

DTI organized a composite team to conduct Operation Timbangan coming from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Local Government Unit (LGU)-Treasurer and Municipal Agriculture, Consumer Organization (CO) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Out of 201 stores visited around the island, there were 6 defective weighing scales confiscated. Presented below are the number of firms visited and weighing scales confiscated per municipality.
