The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has cited the important role of stakeholders in the successful rehabilitation and early reopening of Boracay Island to tourism activities. Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu said the early reopening of Boracay Island would depend on the cooperation of its stakeholders, particularly the owners of establishments affected by road widening and crackdown on illegal sewerage connections. Cimatu visited the island over the weekend where he gained the commitment of Stellar Hotel Boracay, which is situated along Bulabog Beach, to demolish its property that clearly encroached on the road easement.
