Boracay rehab on track amid pandemic
Excerpt
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu says he remains on track to complete the rehabilitation of the world famous Boracay Island in Aklan by May 2021. The one-year extension given to the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF) was enough to achieve all its targets and lay the groundwork for a permanent government body that would manage the island, he said. “The new executive order gives us another year and directs us to finish the rehabilitation of Boracay. We aim to do that as we propose a bill in Congress that would create a permanent management group for the island,” he noted.
