Excerpt

Several rehabilitation projects on Boracay Island will be continued after President Rodrigo Duterte steps down on June 30. The projects will be implemented by concerned government agencies since the term of office of the Duterte-created Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF), which manages the island’s rehabilitation, will end also in June, according to Martin Jose Despi, general manager of the Boracay Inter-Agency Rehabilitation and Management Group, the implementing body of the task force. Despi said among the major rehabilitation projects that would still be completed was the clearing of structures encroaching on the beachfront, the main road and on forest lands.
