DENR vows continuous Boracay rehabilitation
Excerpt
The rehabilitation of the world-renowned Boracay Island will continue even after its formal reopening to the public on Oct. 26. “This is not the time for us to relax and lower our guards. Rehabilitation will continue after Oct. 26. We are just in Phase 1,” Secretary Roy Cimatu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) yesterday said in a statement. Cimatu, who heads the inter-agency task force in charge of Boracay’s rehabilitation, cited the ongoing road and drainage improvement projects, which were delayed due to successive typhoons.
