All right, you've enjoyed the powdery white sands of Boracay. But common party people, be responsible stewards. Pick up you dirt and sweep the filth off the beach.
I've walked the entire length of Boracay beach (7 kilometers and more) and I've noticed the great amount of thrash that litter the sands - from sun glo plastic pouches to broken bits of hard plastic (stepped on one and it almost pierced my feet). I saw dogs, too, roaming the beach area and you know what they can do. Naturally, Boracay being Boracay, bods of all sizes and shapes in their sun-tanned glory captivated my eyes...but hey, aren't they the same people dirtying the beach?
We crossed over to the east side of Boracay island, did some island hopping and snorkelling. But pity the waters, thrash were there, too. In five years time, if these were not cleaned and if visitors didn't discipline themselves, Boracay would be an island of waste. You just can imagine what damage this can do to the country's tourism sector, the island being our centerpiece tourism draw.
Development is unbridled in the island. There are so many people and anybody can just build a building or structure the way he likes.
There's a drainage system but I wonder where this ends up. At the beach?
