Smoking, drinking will be banned in public places in Boracay

Department of Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said smoking and drinking in public places will be banned in Boracay.

"Definitely no more smoking and drinking on the white beach. Why? Because this is a public beach," Puyat said during the Meet with Inquirer Multimedia forum on Tuesday.

According to Puyat, the smoking and drinking ban imposed in Boracay island would ensure the safety of the public walking along the white beach.

She explained that the ban covers not only the beach but other public places in Boracay.
