Baybayin to be used as ‘main text’ for Boracay signagesMANILA, Philippines — Local officials of Malay, Aklan are now reportedly requiring the use of Baybayin as the “main text” for signages on Boracay island. Last October 26, Boracay Island reopened its doors to local and foreign tourists after a six-month rehabilitation. According to Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, her department has accredited over 300 accommodation establishments after the six-month rehabilitation of Boracay. Chinese establishments have also been observed to have sprouted since the island reopened. The Chinese businesses are reportedly turning away non-Chinese customers in restaurants, and menus are written in Chinese characters.
