After the closure of Boracay resort island for rehabilitation — to the dismay of several travelers and residents who earn a living from tourist arrivals and related industries — the famous tourist destination remained very much in the news.
But one part of Boracay that has not gotten much attention is the reforestation project inside Barangay Manoc-Manoc involving the old and reliable mangrove trees, also called “bakawan” in Filipino.
The Roots for Boracay project, which is supported and monitored by the Tan Yan Kee Foundation Inc. (TYKFI) in partnership with Tanduay Distillers Inc. (TDI), the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the local government, aims to protect the Boracay coastline from erosion.
