    Excerpt
    The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) through Undersecretary David Erro, perhaps in its desire to please the President who wants to convert the entire Boracay island into a land reform area, has boldly announced that from 30 centimeters to one meter of topsoil imported from other places will be dumped on some portions of the island to make these arable and suited for agriculture.
