A passenger charges her phone as she waits for a boat ride out of the country's most famous beach resort island of Boracay, in central Aklan province, Philippines a day before the government implements it's temporary closure on Wednesday, April 25, 2018. Tourists are spending their final hours on Boracay, enjoying the Philippine island's famed white-sand beaches before it closes for up to six months to recover from overcrowding and development. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had described the waters off Boracay as a “cesspool” before ordering the closure. (Photo by Aaron Favila/AP Photo)
