Excerpt

Lawmakers want to know if Boracay Inter-Agency Rehabilitation Task Force has a comprehensive development plan for the world-renowned resort island to ensure its continued rehabilitation and protection. Cebu Rep. Rodrigo Abellanosa, chairperson of the House Committee on Natural Resources, said the task force, led by Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu should lay down its comprehensive plan to ensure sustainable development of the island. “Ever since the Committee started its investigation, our members have been asking this: Is there a comprehensive development plan for Boracay, one that goes beyond the knee-jerk reaction of cleaning the island after the President called Boracay a cesspool? What is the plan from here on?,” Abellanosa said in a statement.
