Duterte: A “portion” of Boracay to be allotted for businesses, the rest to be subjected to land reform

(Eagle News)–President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday, May 20, said a portion of Boracay would be allotted for businesses after the 6-month rehabilitation.

He said however that the rest of the area “will be declared a land reform area.”

“I’ll leave it to Congress to decide a clear-cut parameter of how much would be given back to business,” he said.

Boracay was closed down on April 26 to give way to what Duterte said was a much-needed rehabilitation of the island.

This was after he described the same as a “cesspool.”
