Excerpt

Boracay Island Water Company (Boracay Water) is eyeing more customers following the recently issued order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) directing hotels, resort, and other establishments to connect to islands concessionaires in preparation for the islands scheduled re-opening in October. Signed by Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, the memorandum order provided the guidelines on the installation or construction of individual Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) per establishment in Boracay and at the same time ordered the concessionaires to collect and treat the wastewater of their own respective clients. It also ordered concessionaires to issue certifications that their respective customers are either connected to the sewer line or have their own compliant individuals STPs.
