DUTERTE – Malacañang revealed the reason why President Rodrigo Roa Duterte may not be able to visit Boracay Island soon.
One of the most notable projects under the present administration is the rehabilitation of Boracay Island. It is one of the top tourist destinations in the country.
Most especially during summer, Boracay gathers both locals and foreign vacationers. It is usually one of the places-to-visit in the checklists of foreign travellers.

Recently, Boracay was reopened to assist the tourism industry of the country. However, Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte may not be able to visit the island anytime soon.
