'New war' looms in Boracay-task force
Excerpt
The government task forces in Boracay Island are waging a new war in the beachfront – sans bullets and guns – to protect the island. The so-called “Battle of the Front Beach” on Feb. 21 of the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF) and Metro Boracay Police Task Force (MBPTF) aims to divide the four-kilometer main beach into four designated and disciplined zones. The “new war” targets erring individuals and establishments in the island who failed to comply the necessary environmental and business permits, and the rules and regulations.
