Water Quality Management and Monitoring

➢ The BIATF, through the DENR-EMB, has been regularly
collecting and analyzing water samples from twenty-one
(21) sampling stations around the island. All the beaches,
including the front and Bolabog beaches have been Class
SB-compliant except for the outfall in front of Kingfisher.
The Kingfisher area is located on the Sibuyan Sea side of
the island and populated by residential houses not yet
connected to the sewer network. Pollution from the outfall
may be caused by illegal connections and surface runoff.
The completion of TIEZA’s drainage improvement project in
the area by end of 2022 is expected to mitigate the
problem;

➢ DENR-EMB drafted Endorsement Report of the Proposed

Reclassification of Boracay Coastline (facing Sibuyan Sea)
and submitted for review and finalization
Monitoring Stations in Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan

1. Relocation Outside Boracay. This is consistent with the Boracay

Action Plan (BAP) particularly the decongestion of Boracay Island.

a. Yolanda Housing Project. There is an on-going construction of Housing

Units in Brgy. Dumlog, Malay, Aklan, a joint project by NHA and LGU
Malay for Typhoon Yolanda victims. There are 280 units and around 80
to 100 units that maybe available for the affected residents in Boracay
Island. These units are intended for typhoon victims as beneficiaries but
already have their houses constructed in their respective areas.
According to Mayor Bautista, NHA recommended to cleanse the record
and secure a waiver from the intended beneficiaries. If needed, BIATF to
intervene on the matter.

b. Land Acquisition and Permanent Housing Program for affected

families as provided in BAP.
This particular PPA has not started since 2018. BAP provided for Php 26 Million for
land acquisition to be funded from 20% Development Fund of the LGU and Php 225
Million for NHA Housing Program intended for the affected families.

Adjoining the Yolanda Housing Site is an area now being sold at Php 1,500.00 per
square meter, a two (2) hectares area maybe enough for the 400 affected
“tumandoks” of the island.
