more from the readers

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 ....
