ILOILO CITY, Philippines, White beach spared, surfing area hit
Boracay Island started to return to its normal life after typhoon “Frank” wrecked Western Visayas.
Chief of the Boracay Special Tourist Police Office, Senior Inspector Auxilio Dador, said residents and employees of resorts and hotels have been cleaning up the debris and damage brought by typhoon Frank.
The white beach, the island-resort's main attraction, has been largely spared but strong winds and rampaging waters damaged resorts and houses at the Bolabog beach at the opposite side of the 1,000-hectare island. Bolabog is a site favored for waters sports like jet skiing, para-sailing and surfing.
Resort and hotel owners belonging to the Boracay Foundation Inc. (BFI) have launched a campaign to gather ready-to-eat food, drinking water and bed sheets for Aklanons left homeless or who have been evacuated.
Typhoon Frank damaged almost P50 million worth of property, including the walls of resorts along the Bolabog beach, speedboats and pump boats.
