Now, here come the sweteks - legalized pickpocketeers! One swetek against another ...
It's nice conception for the province to have that oneway-in/oneway-out port in the island and have it disguised as "for security reasons". But terrorists are no dummies. They can hit and get away at any point of the island as their study suggest. Terrorist doesn't attack without planning...
The real reason is money - one has to pay the said "port". If one can exit anywhere, no money can be made.
But Malay's environmental whatever is yet to be figured out, planned and seen, - even though the money for it has been collected.
I suggest to towns leading to Boracay to sit up ordinances too, to tax all those vehicles (Ro-Ro- destined-buses to Manila, and haulers of building materials for Boracay included) that passes their towns. All what these towns got are potholes on their newly blacktopped road, and the danger the top-speeding vehicles present. These vehicles are plying back and forth as if they are always on emergency, running on a 5-lane freeway, and Boracay is going away!

More on the "tax" (call it whatever you like) collection -
As I understand, right now, to get to Boracay, you have to distribute your wealth to Malay (environmental fee kuno), then move inside the jetty terminal to share some to the province (port or terminal fee), and finally another one for transport fare. Something seems to be missing - where are the Baranggay of Catiklan and the (Regional) Tourism gets in? Also, I suggest the following to have to sit up a stall, side by side with Malay's, - outside the jetty terminal: Kalibo, Numancia, Makato, Tangalan, Ibajay and Nabas. Since these tourists can't be "tax" (otherwise known as passersby tax!) when they pass by these towns, that's the only way they can be taxed. While both the province and Malay are in it, let's all together suck these tourists dry. Most of them won't come back again anymore, anyway. A memory of a lifetime they could cherish ....
