The closure of Boracay for 6 months ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte might cost the government some P20 billion in gross receipts, an official said recently. "The estimate if we will go through the full 6 months, it could reach around 18 to 20 billion [pesos] potential loss in gross receipts. That's why it is not to the interest of everybody to go the full 6 months," said Interior assistant secretary Epimaco Densing in a Palace press briefing.
