This recent article from the Panay news is an eye opener:

"BORACAY – The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of Aklan called for a stop to the series of “bad publicities” the island resort of Boracay has been getting lately.

“These deliberate demolition job against the island and misleading statements would hamper the tourism growth of this famed resort island,” Vice Gov. Ronquillo Tolentino told Panay News.
He also expressed dismay over the “the uncalled statement” of Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano about Boracay.

Durano had said Boracay was in “critical condition” due to its “uncontrolled development.”

He “is sending a wrong signal to our investors and tourism players,” said Tolentino.

During the SP’s joint out-of-town session here over the weekend with the Sangguniang Bayan of Malay, local legislators passed a resolution requesting Durano to refrain from making statements “that would downgrade and destroy the top tourist destination of the province.”"

As a resident of Boracay, I have to say I agree with Secretary Durano's comments 100%. Development here is uncontrolled, and he should be applauded for saying so instead of perpetuating the myth that all is fine. There is a conspiracy against telling the truth about the situation in Boracay, and we will all suffer because of it.
Sadly what these officials fail to realise is that by supressing the facts about the "critical condition" of this once pristine island they risk damaging Boracay (and it's tourism industry) permenently.
