A Candlelight vigil to save Boracay's last remaining "unspoiled" sliver of tropical paradise, Puka Beach. The pace of building here must be seen to be believed, with the Malay government aiming for an increase from 1.1 to 1.5 million visitors in 2015 alone. Package tours from Korea, Taiwan, China, figure prominently in this equation. Paradise lost? Not quite.. but each rustic property that gets sold seems to be replaced by a monstrosity and the non-corporatized island vibe is diminishing apace. My second day on the island, I was fortunate enough to be able to add my Bukidnon flute to some truly talented percussionists & the sound of waves off Willy's Rock.
