According to the Malay local government, its decision to prohibit big “LaBoracay” events this year is in line with “the rehabilitation of Boracay Island since big events for Labor Day generates a significant increase in both solid and water waste.” The public advisory was posted on the Malay local government’s Facebook page on March 27, Good Friday. It was not clear if the local government had already issued permits to big “LaBoracay” events in the days or weeks prior to its issuance of the public advisory, and what would happen if it had.
