The sandy shores of Boracay Island in Aklan have once again been recognized internationally, this time when Travel + Leisure Magazine ranked it as the fourth best island in the world in its annual “World’s Best Awards."

In Asia, Boracay is ranked second only to Bali in Indonesia.

It was the first time that Boracay was recognized by the magazine.

The survey was conducted from December 2010 to March 2011. Readers voted and decided through Travel + Leisure magazine and the TravelandLeisure.com, the magazine’s official website.

The top choices are featured in the magazine's August issue.

Islands were evaluated according to their natural attractions, activities, sights, restaurants and food, visitors and natives, and their value for money, according to the website.

Nagpasabot ba kini nga dili pa world-standard ang Panglao?  :-X

may tendency man gyod unta ko nga mo-i-love-my-own, pero this time around, mo-admitir ko nga layo pa gyod ang panglao.  abog pa, wa magkadimao ang dalan, at least the last time i was there.  bisan ang tourism service sector sa tagbilaran leaves much room to be desired.  training lang tingali ang kuwang sa "natives".  lalim ba uroy, gikan sa pantalan, where we were fetched by a resort hotel's car service, magsigeg lingi ang driver, sigeg istorya nga "inyo gyod pod kong tagaan ug pinaskohan no?"  balik-balik pa ra ba, morag nahadlok nga managan mi.  dugangan sa bell service, mao gihapon.  bastosan ko anang mangayo, di maghuwat nga mohatag tag tip because we appreciate their service. 

purya gaba never na gyod ko mobalik anang resort hotel.  maayo pay alzhun; morag pamilya ang staff, di pa gyod mangayo mao nga mosiguro gyod kog hatag ug dako-dako, unya makapakaon pa kog mga stray cats, hahaha!

I thought along those lines a long time ago and still insist that we haven't improved much from the last time I made such comments if you know what I mean. Much of our locals don't even know what the "world-stardard" really entails. We're no biggies yet (Boracay included) in world tourism, however unique and natural our potentials are in that domain. Hope in time we will be...

Translation:
Wa pa ta moabot sa punto nga "sud-gawas" ang mga "visitors" by the seconds, by the minute - as in guot (mob) - like in such places as La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the Forbidden City of Beijing, Tour Eiffel and La Louvre of Paris, Disneyland (all locations), Universal Studios (all locations), Niagara Falls of Canada, Bali (Indonesia), etc.

Panglao, Carmen, and Bohol in general kay by the hour or more pa ang bisita nga modagsa and in small numbers pa jud

mas ilarunon man tingali kog dating kaysa manggiluluy-on... dugang pa, di sila manglilimos.  mga professionals kintahay na sila.  maayo pang mga buta, they earn their keep by singing and massaging.
