boracay - voted several times the best beach beach in the world, has had its days. now, it's just another so-so tourist destination; the 4-km-long beach still has its charm, but the waters around has died down a lot, with corals almost all wiped out. the accommodation in the vicinity of the beach has a lot to ask for; the pavements mostly worn and torn with some parts ponded when it rains, sewage was so bad that, you could smell the stink in the middle of a silent nite.
many years ago, he was here, and it was a different island then. with the sea teemed with lives, the land was only sparsely populated with cosy resorts....
who is to blame for its down-turn?
quick profits, and no long-term vision. it could have been the bahamas of the east. but soon it would be the harlem of the pacific.
