    Excerpt
    Boracay, our prime tourist destination, will open again this week. While cleaning up the island is still a work in progress, one wonders if our government has the ability to keep it clean and the resorts compliant with our laws on sanitation and environmental protection. Indeed, Boracay is a good example of what a president, who is determined to make a difference, can do if he just puts his mind into it. Very few believed it was possible to clean up the “cesspool,” as the President described the island, in just six months. They still cannot say “mission accomplished,” but it is clear so much work has been done to clean up the mess from decades of inaction and corruption. If the President can show the same political will he showed in Boracay in tackling other national problems, the country will be a better place than when he took office.
