26,020 People Have Signed A Call To Action To Save One of The World's Best Island from Verge of Extinction.

The Philippines tourists index algorithm data showed that Boracay island still holds the nation’s pride as the Philippine prime tourist destination.


In fact, Google keyword volume search data tells "Boracay" as the number one keyword in Philippines demographic target and the following backlink online publications are the trending factors: 

  2012 - No.1 Best Island in the World - Travel and Leisure
  2013 - No.2 Best Island in the World - Travel and Leisure
  2014 - No.12 Best Island the World - Condé Nast Traveler's Readers’ Choice       Awards
  2015 - No.1 Best Beach in Asia, White Beach Balabag - TripAdvisor
  2015 - 7th World's Best Beach - TripAdvisor
  2016 - No.1 Best Island in the World - Condé Nast Traveler's 2016 Readers’     Choice Awards
  2016 - No.1 Island in the World for Relaxation - Agoda Poll
  2017 - No.2 Best Beach in Asia, White Beach Balabag - TripAdvisor
  2017 - No.1 Best Island in the World - Condé Nast Traveler's 2017 Readers’       Choice Awards
  2017 - No.24 Best Island in the World - TripAdvisor

This accolades continued not just to increase the influx of tourist coming to the island but also drives more local and foreign developers that are potential risks to the sustainability of Boracay environment, ecosystems and natural resources.

Top Sentiments
Teresita Whiting I disagree with overpopulating the island! The influx of foreign investors led to gradual deforestation and extinction of natural resources that severely weakened culture and ecosystem. If we carry on the way it is, we will be destroying the identity of this island and its people.
Niguel De leon I'm from Philippines and I always believed that Philippine and it's island is always and has been always a beautiful and incomparable. I've never been to boracay. But, from the stories I've heard from my grandparents, family and friends that boracay before was a piece of heart and a gem of philippine.
