Rehabilitation of the world-famous Boracay Island will continue even after it was reopened to tourists on Oct. 26, Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu said yesterday. Cimatu said the agency would continue to monitor the quality of water in the resort island to ensure safety of tourists and residents. He said the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), an attached agency of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), has installed a state-of-the-art monitoring system to ensure water quality. The DENR will ensure compliance by all establishments with the rules stipulated in the environmental compliance certificates (ECCs).
