Three days before Boracay Island temporarily closes to tourists, different government agencies conducted a walkthrough on what to expect during the 6-month shutdown. On April 23, 2018, members of the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6), together with the Metro Boracay Police Task Force (MBPTF), led a demonstration at the Caticlan Jetty Port on how residents, workers, and other personnel will go about the process of entering the island come April 26, the day the closure starts.
