If we are to believe claims by the opposition and administration critics, Chinese-owned establishments have supposedly taken over the island resort of Boracay now that it’s back to business. This we asked Romulo-Puyat who we invited to our Kapihan sa Manila Bay last April 3 at Café Adriatico. During its six-month closure last year, she reported, the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force that included the DOT, did their respective rehabilitation assignments. The DENR, she added, is regularly doing the tests on the coliform level every two weeks to maintain the present condition of Boracay Island, especially during the peak season. Those were jolting moments but we must always keep our presence of mind to keep us alive.
