An hour away from high tide and white beach is "grounded" in the ocean - gone!
The last photo above taken just minutes ago shows Boracay's famous white beach during less than high tide. The beach is all underwater - history or memories of ancient times ...
A tourist industry is fragile and has natural enemies and artificial enemies. The artificial enemy Boracay island and entire Philippine island tourist industry had this year - was the weakness of GMA when she declared the state of emergency earlier this year. Weeks later Boracay was nearly empty. Before her proof of weakness Boracay was nearly full ...
Each country deserves the government it elects! If a government truly cares for the entire nation from poorest to richest - then the love of all will protect the presidency, like the love of all people protects the king of Thailand.
Different country, different mentality - Philippines is a "Banana Republic" with lots of questionable "monkey-business" and thus lots of people who may have a reason or even legitimate right to feel betrayed.
Boracay was twice this year in closer range of a Taifun. No direct hit else the island would be flat. but some minor damage and damage to the reason why Boracay is what it is ... and island with a long and one of the most beautiful white sand beaches.
The two nearby passages of Taifun with its expanding waves far away from the center path of the Taifun has caused a substantial shift in sand in Boracay's famous white beach.
For children life goes on - life as usual ? See yourself.

White beach almost back to normal - 2-3 days earlier high piles of debris have been all over white beach. Local tourist industry knows about the importance of their clean beach.

The attraction to tourists was crashed by GMA's early declaration of weakness ( "declaration of state of emergency" ) this year and never really recovered ever since. A short high during the usual holy week - filled by local tourism. Since May until now the island is nearly empty. Some facilities closed or reduced operating hours.
Tourism is a very fragile market - A few years at peak and within a single day a lasting down or gone forever. For the island itself as a living being - the absence of tourist is of course highly beneficial. A vacation to recover from an earlier overload by pollution. Now is time to recover and heal ... for the island.
These very minutes we still have strong winds and heavy sea on Boracay. That normally means that another Taifun is either approaching or passing near by ...
For tourists this time of the year there is no sun and hence no fun on Boracay. Dark clouds, rain since I returned almost a week ago to Boracay island. If you plan a vacation be prepared for days and weeks of cloudy sky, heavy sea and stormy days or look for another destination of better timing.
