There are 423 hectares of agricultural land in Boracay that President Rodrigo Duterte may place under land reform and distribute to beneficiaries, Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones said on Wednesday. Castriciones made the remark a day before the resort island is restricted to tourists. Earlier this month, Duterte said he would transform the entire island into a land reform area and distribute it to farmers once the six-month rehabilitation of Boracay was finished.
