Several families living in Boracay’s no-build zones have received notices to vacate their homes as part of the government’s plan to rehabilitate the island, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said yesterday. At least 28 families composed of informal settlers received eviction notices, which would be implemented in the coming months, according to DSWD officer-in-charge Emmanuel Leyco. The DSWD-Western Visayas has met with representatives of different government agencies to discuss measures on how to assist the affected families.
