As the summer months get closer, the number of tourists going to Boracay also goes up. The consistent surge in the number of tourists can be expected even without holidays. Busy streets and crowded beaches have become a normal scene on the island, and you can expect it this week too.

Adding to the busy state of the island is the crackdown activities being conducted against environmental violators. This is in line with the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte to clean up Boracay in six months.

Clearing operations include the opening of drainage systems to check business and residential areas which illegally connect their sewer lines to the drainage.
