Malay local government launches 'Bawal ang Pasaway sa Boracay'
Excerpt
The local government of Malay town, Aklan province formally launched the “Bawal ang Pasaway sa Boracay” campaign to curb the number of violations in Boracay Island. Malay Mayor Frolibar Bautista said the campaign was launched due to the highly controversial incidents at the resort island a year after it reopened to tourists following a six-month closure. Last August, a portion of Boracay’s front beach was temporarily closed following a viral video showing Chinese tourists peeing and burying a child’s diaper in the sand.
