The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Wednesday said it is working on turning portions of land in Boracay belonging to the Ati tribe into an agro-tourism destination as part of the six-month rehabilitation of the world-famous island in the country’s Visayas region.

A team of experts from the DA, according to Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol, is collaborating with Ati tribe members living in a two-hectare land in Boracay to launch a program that will provide sustainable livelihood for the community.
