Boracay is voorlopig afgesloten voor toeristen, schijnt er letterlijk en figuurlijk nogal een schijtzooi te zijn. Oftwel een open riool. De president heeft nu maar besloten dat t hoog tijd wordt dat de riolering etc maar s gefixt moeten worden voordat er weer toeristen heen mogen.
A spokesperson for President Rodrigo Duterte said the closure would begin on 26 April.
Earlier this year Mr Duterte said Boracay was turning into a "cesspool" and threatened to shut it down.
The island, known for its white-sand beaches, attracted nearly 2 million visitors last year.
The decision has prompted concern for the thousands of people employed in Boracay's busy tourist trade.
The island is home to around 500 tourism-related businesses, which drew in annual revenue of $1.07bn (£760m) last year. The government said affected companies will receive financial aid.
It's not clear how the shutdown will be implemented, though the department of trade and industry had earlier proposed closing the island down in phases, saying a total shutdown would be detrimental to businesses and livelihoods.
Mocht je dus nog naar de Filipijnen toe willen, Boracay is wellicht niet bereikbaar. Gelukkig zijn er wel genoeg andere en mooie spot daar.
