With all due respect Sir, I do not think we should be looking at the algae(moss) on the shorelines of Boracay as a pass in blaming our local goverment's lack of perseverance in cleaning up the shores. As a matter of fact, the algae is responsible for keeping the white sands of Boracay in its pristine condition. Unfortunately, a lot of tourists, who doesn't understand that, complains. Hotel and resort owners combs the shores to get rid of the algae. Not knowing or not caring if it alters the natural order of things. If you have noticed, Boracay sand is far different from what it used to look like back when the Island was not too cramped with commercialism.

As children of Aklan, let's do our share in protecting the country's top tourist destination, Boracay Island. Let's not leave everything in the capable hands of our local government: even Atlas needed help carrying the burden of the world.
