What does "rehabilitated" mean in regard to Boracay? Your photos have never showed much in the way of cess-pool about it. Mqurice

I got my PADI Open Water license in Boracay in 1990. Don't think i could have spent more than $10 per night on a hut back then. It was an amazing clean/pristine beach. I know a French national who had a house next to a hotel (Meridien?) but had some problems - may have had it confiscated. When i visisted in the 90's, hotels did not exist. Not surprising that it went to hell given greed and corruption that is endemic in the Philippines. Sad.

"As long as there is shit coming out of those pipes draining to the sea, I will never give you the time of the day to the island," said Philippine President Duterte. That's something easily fixed by a sewage treatment plant paid for by the property owners in Boracay. So Duterte has closed the property owner's golden geese until they agree to pay. California forced the City of Malibu, home to many wealthy people, to build sewage lines and a sewage treatment plant. - latimes.com Previously each new home and retail building had a septic tank. With so many homes, each new rain drained sewage out of the hillsides into the ocean. The first phase of the sewage treatment plant is a mere $40 million. The final sewage treatment bill will cost property owners an extra $4,000 a year (to as much as $500,000 a year) in sewage treatment fees depending on their water/sewer usage. The City of Los Angeles is adding the capacity to treat all storm drain water since this drains urban areas where pets don't use toilets and very small oil leaks from so many cars and other sources of contamination lead to a need to treat the rain water runoff. In some parts people, like the property owners in Boracay, are angrily opposed to all of this 'excess' government regulation. President Duterte clearly doesn't give a shit about their opinion of 'excess government regulation' requiring sewage treatment plants.
