Malay council members divided over env't fee hike
Excerpt
Members of the Sangguniang Bayan (SB) have differing takes on the proposed increase of the environmental fee for tourists in the world-famous Boracay Island. SB member Maylynn Aguirre-Graf is proposing to increase the fee from P75 to P500, as agreed upon by stakeholders and other local officials in the town. Aguirre-Graf wants the fee hike implemented when Boracay re-opens on Oct. 26. “The proposed increase of environmental fee will also have positive impacts to our economy by creating more job and livelihood opportunities for locals,” she added.
