BORACAY – The interagency task force leading the rehabilitation of this world-famous island scrapped this year’s staging of “Love Boracay.”
The Love Boracay slated April 26 to May 2 features several events such as environment friendly parties, hammock festival and beach cleanup, among others. The event started last year.
Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda said the cancellation was part of precautionary measures against coronavirus disease 2019, which so far killed two individuals in the country.
“There are only few tourists coming to Boracay now. We decided to cancel all the related events due to the threat of COVID-19. We urged everyone not to panic,” Antiporda said./PN
