TOTAL, BUT GRADUAL, CLOSURE FOR BORACAY!

I am for the TOTAL BUT GRADUAL CLOSURE of Boracay to thoroughly clean it up and do what has to be done to restore it to its former glory.

Total meaning the whole of Boracay would have to be closed, No exceptions. But the better approach should be PHASE BY PHASE shutdown, and NOT the whole island at once.

Under a phase by phase shutdown, ALL THE MANPOWER, EQUIPMENT and other logistics needed for the cleanup can be CONCENTRATED ON ONE AREA. This will definitely FAST-TRACK the job while producing maximum and more efficient results.  

What I mean is, for example, better to deploy 1,000 guys with the corresponding equipment in one area and come up with the best results in a month. Rather than to throw 1,000 in a job site which can only be done fast and with quality results by 2,000 or more workers.

More importantly, NOT ALL THE WORKERS and local residents dependent on the business establishments and tourists will lose their income or their means of livelihood at the same time. They’ll get a chance to save money for their needs when it’s the turn of the areas they work or do business in to be closed.

Bottomline: Boracay faces closure over, among others, sanitary and environmental concerns. As these are addressed, let no one create new problems in doing so. 30
