lenon, a kite-surfing instructor from england is here for 6 months as a kite-surfing trainer. he needs a place to stay for the next 6 months, and still looking for it.
the hotel owner, rachel asked, "how do you find this hotel?"
"not bad. but i have another fren who's coming later, and we plan to stay together. so have to ask him."
"oh.... if you plan to stay here for long term, i could give a big discount on the roomrate."
"we'll see."
"is this the first time in boracay?"
"no. i was here last year."
"how did find it?"
"well.... pity a nice place like this cannot avoid the fate of depriving itself of the reason for for its own existence."
"what do you mean?"
"like a lot of tourist destinations, particularly, dive-sites, environmental damaged, especially to the marine lives are extensive. and who am to talk like that, being one of the culprits of this process?"
"we hotel operators also guilty of not doing enough to preserve what get us here."
"it should be concerted effort among all people who has a stake either as someone egging out a living from it, or someone taking a bite of it for enjoyment and the authority to make sure that whatever going around has to be sustainable."
"agree."
" i would suggest we shut down all activities on boracay for a year, and let the marine life take a breather to replenish themselves. meanwhile we could think about what to do to preserve marine lives better, before going into the rampage again."
"then what are we going to do if the resorts are shut down?"
"go fly a kite!"
