Sun, sand and satisfaction. All of these is what Boracay Island could offer. Boracay Island is renowned for its majestic white sand. Tourists from all around the world flocks in this tiny island for an instagramable and post-card perfect view. On top of that, there are different activities that you may want to try like parasailing, boating, surfing and many more! When the sun sets, that is when the life in the island breaks out, there are live music, and fire dancers and partying all night. However, we never thought that this will come to an end.
Boracay Island was closed. This closure was made to rehabilitate the island and heal the damages for the past years. Everybody thinks that closing Boracay is not a practical thing to do but to us Boracaynons (people who reside in Boracay) Boracay is not just a an island but our home. Our living may depend on the business in the island but our life greatly depends on our home island.
Boracay was recently opened, and we all hope for the best. Keeping in mind that the safety of the people and the restoration of the island is what matters most.

@Letranknight2015, you're actually right that it is quite hard to earn money now in Boracay considering that tourist visitation is being restricted by the local government.

@Letranknight2015 you got a point, its because people oftentimes forget about things like this, they only value money.

There are some lots of lawsuits now i've heard on the news. It was because of many establishments still don't have permit to open.
