local.descriptionWe have a problem. It seems that the mastermind of the P389-million project recreating a strip of Boracay beach on Manila Bay was in a hurry to spread the fake white sand without factoring in the seasonal typhoons wreaking havoc on the beautification effort. Just one month after some 3,500 metric tons of crushed dolomite rocks were brought in to simulate white sand on 500 meters of the north end of the Roxas Boulevard beachfront, the heavy rains came as scheduled and washed away the particles.en
