'Boracay cesspool no more but much rehab work still needed'
Excerpt
Environment secretary Roy Cimatu asked “extended patience, support and understanding” from stakeholders amid the ongoing rehabilitation of this world-famous island resort. The half-year rehabilitation which aims to reverse the poor environmental condition of the island is about to end Friday next week. The island closure has tested the patience of thousands of stakeholders (resident, workers and business owners) in the past months, said Cimatu, but “much work remains to be done for Boracay.”
