Parts of Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan could be reopened to tourists by first week of September, an official of Department of Interior and Local Governments official told senators yesterday. DILG Undersecretary Epimaco Densing, an official of inter-agency task force tasked to oversee Boracay's rehabilitation, said the "soft opening" of Boracay could start after several conditions are met, like the dismantling of all establishments that violate restrictions on easement and half of structures built on wetlands. The requirements for the soft opening will be submitted to the inter-agency Boracay Task Force for approval, he said.
