Boracay to be declared National Park
Posted on June 4, 2008
Manila (4 June) — Boracay will soon be declared a national park.
This, as President Gloria Macapagal—Arroyo is set to implement an unrepealed Martial Law Proclamation making Boracay a national park and placing its resources under the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA)’s control and administration.
The move will be made as the Chief Executive wants to protect and preserve Boracay’s tourism value which spreads throughout Aklan, while guaranteeing sustainability of the island’s resources and livelihood.
It would be recalled that the Arroyo administration is resolved in investing in vital infrastructures which also includes means to take care of the environment as a reflection of the government’s commitment to better the Filipino people’s quality of life.
In a related development, P200 million worth double lane new Ibajay bridge will be inaugurated to replace the existing Reinforced Concrete Deck Girder (RCDG) bridge, leading to the Caticlan Jetty port that serves as a jump-off point to Boracay island.
The Arroyo government has already expressed gratitude to United Kingdom’s soft loan of over P1 Billion plus a grant of P560 million for the construction of 242 UK steel bridges in the country, including the new Ibajay bridge.
This early, new Ibajay bridge is already seen as a gateway for more developments in the Panay island.
