Agrarian reform: Parts of Boracay Island, which is popular for its beaches and resorts, will be given to native settlers.
ILOILO CITY (Philippines): At least 18ha of land set for agrarian reform on Boracay Island remain to be distributed to beneficiaries, says the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR). The parcels of land will be given to native settlers of the resort island who do not belong to the Ati tribe.
The tribe members, who earlier received 3.2ha of land, had declined to receive more land, Stephen Leonidas, DAR Western Visayas regional director, said on Tuesday.
