Less than a week before the six-month closure of Boracay Island on April 26, 2018, the national government has yet to present a concrete rehabilitation plan. Sen. Risa Hontiveros said the inter-agency task force on Boracay must reveal the plan to pave the way to a smooth transition period. “I haven’t seen the rehab plan. Have you? Has the public seen it? That is what we are waiting for the inter-agency task force,” she told the local press on the sidelines of her visit at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol on April 19, 2018.
