The Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ Environmental Management Bureau has issued an interim cease-and-desist order to Boracay Tubi Systems Inc. for discharging wastewater that tested positive for fecal coliform into the waters of Boracay Island in Aklan. The wastewater discharge was traced from BTSI’s one-kilometer outfall pipe from Lugutan area in Brgy. Manoc-Manoc in the island to the Sibuyan Sea. Sinkers were placed on the outfall pipe to secure it and prevent it from floating.
