Senator Cynthia Villar (left), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, discusses with Environment Usec. Ernesto Adobo Jr. the accomplishment of the inter-agency task force on the rehabilitation of Boracay Island, more than two months before the planned reopening of the country’s premier tourist destination. Villar said she was disappointed to learn that the problem of wastewater disposal was not yet solved and that only 30 percent of establishments have complied with the requirements imposed by the task force.
