BORA! BORA!
Yes, I was amazed by the picturesque scenery, but this is just a point I want to raise as a first-time traveler on the island. The people (tourists and locals at that), are a bit irresponsible when it comes to proper waste management. The place lacks garbage bins. Also, I think there should be a maintenance guy or someone who is in-charge of preserving the cleanliness, doing the job 24/7, on rotation of course. Maybe there is… but in my 3D/2N stay in the island, I haven’t seen one… at least carrying a broomstick. Candy wrappers, barbeque sticks, cigarette butts, plastic cups, etc. are scattered on the sand. Returning visitors also say that the water is not as crystal clear as before.
The sight of Boracay’s coastline is indeed breathtaking. The fine white sand is comparable to that of a powder. The long stretch of hotels, inns, resorts, restaurants and bars on the shore are remarkable. The d’mall (along with d’talipapa) is also a plus. No other islands or beaches have this kind of amenities available right on the shore. This place is for those who loves nature and the water, yet still longs for the city life.
People who had been to Boracay during its first few years of fame, says that the island is no longer as stunning as it was in the past years. I can’t tell. It was my first time.

Perhaps, they require or depend on the establishments to handle this. However, considering that they charge the tourists, the so-called “environmental fee”, I guess we expect a more environment-friendly atmosphere. Nonetheless, here are some other beautiful sceneries I was able to capture on-cam.

And by the way… I’m definitely going back. ;-)
