According to Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, at least 100 soldiers from the military will help in removing the illegal pipes and assist the inter-agency task force in meeting the scheduled re-opening of the Philippines' famous Boracay Island. Boracay was ordered closed by President Duterte for six months starting from 26 April 2018, to give way to its cleanup and rehabilitation. The tourist hotspot was labelled by President Rodrigo Duterte as a “cesspool” because of its water contamination. (Photo by Jo Haresh Tanodra/EPA/EFE)
