Boracay resort shut down for lack of permit
Excerpt
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has shut down a beach resort in Boracay for operating without necessary permits and clearances. The Boracay Interagency Task Force on Friday served the closure order to Boracay Plaza Beach Resort located in Station 1 as part of the efforts to compel all establishments to comply with environmental laws and regulations. In April last year, the Boracay Plaza was issued a demolition order after it was found to have exceeded the required coastal and road easements on the island.
