How did this shutdown came about? It sounds to me it is a top down decision to shutdown basically the entire island and all its economic activities for six months. I wonder how many people gone bankrupt due to this.
What exactly is the environmental rehabilitation being done? Why does it necessitate a shutdown? Would the return of tourists eventually undo all the "rehabilitation"?
- tungwaiyip 8y ago"MANILA - A shutdown of Boracay Island could lead to job losses for 36,000 people and P56 billion in lost revenue, stakeholders said Thursday, as they appealed for a partial, instead of a full closure. Around P56 billion in tourism revenue will be lost if the island is closed for 9 months, based on the island's revenue during the first 9 months of 2017, data showed. This is equivalent to roughly 20 percent of the country's total tourism receipts." https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/03/22/18/boracay-shutdown-36000-jobs-p56-billion-revenues-may-be-lost https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/03/22/18/boracay-shutdown-... Consider also the armed security comment, this really shows the way of a totalitarian government.
