Boracay Island is a paradise indeed. The beach is amazing with its white sand; it is wide and stretched on for kilometres.

The small island, only seven kilometres long and one kilometre wide at its narrowest point, is located just off the northern tip of its mother Visayan island of Panay.

Philippine history began in the 13^th century, when ten datus from Borneo, with hundred of his kinsmen landed in what is now known as Panay island.

Panay is one of the economically better developed islands of the archipelago. This was mainly brought about by the political events at the middle of the 19^th century when the British forced Spain to open the Philippines to the world market.

Boracay is made up of three little communities: Yapak in the north, Balabag in the middle, and Manoc-Manoc in the south. Hilly elevations up to 100 meters above sea level characterize Yapak and Manoc-Manoc.
