It is almost 8 years ago when I last visited Boracay Island together with my office mate and my aunt. It was my first step in the paradise wine and fine sand of Boracay in March of 2000 with no ports and other new facilities yet that I know are existing now in Boracay.
We stayed for three days and two nights in the island, oblivious to the latest happening in the country/ When it was around that time was when the former president Estrada was kicked out from Malacanang after the successful 2nd People Power Revolution.
The world-famous island paradise of Boracay is located in Aklan province 345 kms. south of Manila. The island is accessible by air from Manila or Cebu through two principal gateways: Caticlan airport or Kalibo airport. The site has been voted as one of the best beaches in the world by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook. The British Publication TV Quick in its issue of December 21, 1996 gave the latest accolade for Boracay as the number one tropical beach in the world.
With partying every night hosted by some beer companies, there were free reggae bands in the beach front and non-stop dancing and drinking. It felt like you’re out of the world. There were island hopping and snorkeling during the day. Seems like its been a long time since I have been there.
One of my dreams is to visit Boracay again with my loving wife Denice and son Kyle.
