Francis Lui Yiu Tung, vice-chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd, said during a company press conference in Hong Kong that Galaxy actually shares the same vision as the president when it comes to Boracay’s environmental issues.
“I hope that we would be able to work with our local partners to explain to the Philippine authorities that their vision is the same as ours,” the executive stated. “Boracay is unique. To find another beautiful island with an international airport, close to China and Macau; there aren’t any, so I still prefer Boracay,” said Mr Lui.
