DENR sees Boracay environmental rehab completed soon
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) expects to conclude its rehabilitation efforts soon on the resort island of Boracay, noting the decline in water contamination levels along the main tourist strip on the western shoreline. Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu said late Tuesday that the cleanup is “almost finished” due to the relocation of illegal settlers in the wetlands, who were blamed for fecal contamination in the water. “The culprit, the cause of the high coliform content came from the wetlands where some people live in. And while they live there, the coliform is there,” he added.
