Data awaited for Boracay state of calamity
Excerpt
The Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) earlier recommended for a six-month closure to rehabilitate Boracay Island starting April 26. Nuñez told Manila Bulletin that state of calamity declaration must be anchored on the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, which stipulates natural disaster or a human-induced hazard.
