Some Boracay
sand was took as it is but was returned with a Plaque for the island.
Last November 29
was the turnover ceremony of the said sand that the Department of Tourism (DOT)
had used for the International Expo 2012 held in South Korea.
And along with
the turnover, DOT Philippine Pavilion Director Gwendolyn Batoon brought with
her a plaque for Malay Mayor John Yap which was received by Municipal Tourism
Chief Operation Officer, Felix Delos Santos on his behalf.
With this,
Batoon commended how the Boracay sand had helped during the 3-month
International Expo held last May 12 to August 12 of the current year.
At the Expo the
Philippines was titled “Island of Diversity – Seas of Connectivity” and millions
of people was amazed at the displayed sands of Boracay for its whiteness and
fine texture.
And it cannot be
denied that Boracay is indeed well known in Korea.
The Plaque of
appreciation that the DOT has given to Mayor Yap was also because of the awards
which the Philippines has acquired which included “Creative display and theme
development.”
The Philippines is on of the 11 countries that joined in the Expo.
