Senator Nancy Binay join the Kapihan sa Senado

BORACAY REHAB. Senator Maria Lourdes Nancy Binay, chair of the Senate Committee on Tourism, expresses her opposition to the proposed total closure of business establishments in Boracay during the Kapihan sa Senado in Pasay City on Thursday (March 8, 2018). Instead of shutting down businesses, Binay said local officials must impose "regulated tourist arrivals for now."  President Rodrigo Duterte earlier said he will declare a state of calamity in the area to solve environmental problems such as ill-managed sewage and trash. (PNA photo by Avito Dalan)
