Excerpt
It is fervently hoped that Congress would hasten the passage of a law creating the Boracay Island Development Authority (BIDA) as proposed by the President in his State of the Nation Address on Monday to sustain the gains from the top tourist destination’s rehabilitation. BIDA would be overseeing Boracay’s development. For decades, the main problem in Boracay Island was the weak enforcement of and non-compliance in the country’s environmental laws. If we simply comply with environmental laws, especially the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and the Ecological Solid Waste Management (ESWM) Law, we would not have to close Boracay for six months in 2018 and conduct a massive rehabilitation that up to now is not yet finished.
