BORACAY PREPARES FOR HIGH SEASON MICHAEL MADRIAGA
E
very third Saturday of September of each year, thousands and thousands of volunteers from around the globe participate in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) drive spearheaded by the international group, Ocean Conservancy. The ICC is the largest volunteer based clean up drive for our oceans’ health. In 2014, 561,895 volunteers from 91 countries and locations participated in the event, clearing tons of trash from coastlines, rivers and lakes, and recording every piece of trash collected. (See more: https://sites.google.com/site/iccphilippines/about-icc) For years, tourists and residents of Boracay have been joining in this worthwhile endeavor. And unlike the previous cleanups which focused mainly on the White
Beach, this year’s ICC Day in the island targets all the beaches including Puka Beach, Diniwid Beach, Ilig-iligan Beach, Lapus-lapus Beach, Bulabog Beach, Lugutan Beach, Tulubhan Beach, Sugod Beach, Tambisaan Beach, Manoc-Manoc Beach, Cagban Beach, and Angol Beach. This cleanup event also marks the start of the high season in the island. In a matter of days, establishments will start disassembling the windbreakers in the White Beach, and the port operations will soon be back to the usual Caticlan Jetty – Cagban Port. All of these preparations to welcome the targeted 500,000 more tourist arrivals this quarter, thereby reaching the 1.6M target set by the Malay Local Government for this year, 2015.
