Been to the Phils many times but I avoid Boracay. That place is a prime example of how to screw up a great place with uncontrolled development.
The first time I went was 5 years ago and it was pretty developed then, I went back just over a year ago and was shocked and how much more development there had been - they even have Maccas there now.
The algae bloom also seems more prevalent in every recent photo I have seen, I guess this is because of all the raw sewage run off from the island.
