Aklan Governor Florencio Miraflores has asked for an investigation on the flooding incident in this resort island during the weekend.
He said that he will bring the matter to the attention of the national task force on Boracay Redevelopment. The said task force was created by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III together with Baguio City officials to ensure environmental sustainability in two tourism areas.
The flooding in this resort island was caused by heavy monsoon rains intensified by typhoon Florita.
A huge part of the resort island went under waist-deep floodwater.
Boracay Redevelopment Task Force secretary Mabel Bacani said the local government of Malay has been receiving numerous complaints from both tourists, local residents and businessmen as a result of the said incident.
Based on the initial inspection conducted after the flood, the drainage system of the island was clogged by garbage.
Both the Boracay Foundation Incorporated and the Department of Tourism-Boracay also expressed disappointment over what is considered as the worst flooding incident on the resort island in recent history.
