from the readers

Whoa! This means that Kalibo and other towns enroute to Boracay would be overcrowded in the years to come! This also means that the cost of living will shoot up beyond the reach of local people not to mention the price of real estate properties along the way. If the people of Aklan won't start protecting themselves from the influx of foreign retirees, it would be catastrophic to to the local inhabitants who cannot simply compete with the purchasing powers of these foreigners!

Perhaps, it would force local town or provincial officials to start making plans for waste disposal, drainage and sewerage system! I would just be so impossible to modernize the locality if waste disposals would become the biggest problem that would ultimately choke the local tourism and "retiree" industries! The Ibajay and Kalibo rivers would surely turn into the sewage lagoon.

For Aklanons who have the desire to retire or invest in the old country, it is time to start buying real estate properties in response to and as a hedge against this forthcoming eventuality, if the Chinese, Koreans, Aussies, etc. haven't beat us yet to it. It is good business sense to take advantage of the opportunity and make profit.
