Senator Loren Legarda today supported the government agencies’ plans to rehabilitate the island of Boracay and expressed that these interventions be implemented as well in all other tourist destinations all over the country.

In line with the celebration of International Day for Street Children (April 12), Senator Loren Legarda today said that providing Filipino families with basic services and better opportunities will help keep children out of the streets.
