A party-list congressman urged the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) yesterday to release the results of the water tests it conducted in Boracay prior to its reopening to tourists last Friday. “Tourists and journalists are not biologists and sanitation experts. They cannot truly assess the safety of Boracay water by simple visual observation. Those water test results will give hard evidence,” Rep. Francisco Datol Jr. of Senior Citizens party-list said. Datol said the results should include the tests on the beach and tap water.

Diaz, J. (2018, October 31). Reveal Boracay water test results, DENR asked. The Philippine Star, p. 18.
