Malacañang on Monday said there would be no permanent closure of Boracay Island, only "remedial" measures to clean up the world-famous beach destination. "The permanent closure of Boracay is unacceptable, . If there will be any partial closure [on the island] it is to ensure that Boracay will be viable for next generations to come," Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said in a news briefing at the Camarines Sur Polytechnic College Auditorium in Nabua, Camarines Sur.
