Iloilo City now that Boracay in Aklan has reopened, long-term remedies are being sought to minimize trash build-up at the resort island. "It is important that the Boracay people know the existing problems on solid waste. They should also be the one to identify the possible solutions to the problem because it is their community," said Valentin Talabero, Aklan provincial chief of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
