The half-year deadline for Boracay’s rehabilitation is right on track, said Environment secretary Roy Cimatu. Cimatu added that the rehabilitation might be ahead of schedule.“Mukha yatang…baka mauna pa tayo,” he stressed. Cimatu said this after 26 illegal pipes leading to Boracay’s shores were excavated on Saturday. “Yung mga nahukay ninyong mga tubo na papunta sa beach ay galing sa mga establishment na may dalang bacteria na galing sa dumi ng tao,” the Environment chief added. Earlier, the Environment department said Boracay rehabilitation efforts may take longer than six months.

Boracay rehab schedule on track, clarifies Cimatu. (2018, May 29). Panay News, p. 13.
