    President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the closure of the tourist island of Boracay for six months starting April 26 due to environmental degradation. Duterte approved the closure during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday after fuming about Boracay's pollution in a speech. The closure was recommended by the country's environment, interior and tourism secretaries to address issues like sewage water contamination for up to a year, though Duterte approved six months instead. Calamity funds will aid residents affected by the closure of the popular holiday destination.
