Abandoned hotel in #Boracay #Philippines
I’m told this fell foul of new regulations that meant the hotel had to be further from the beach and due to lack of funds because of the pandemic it was simply abandoned. There were no funds to rebuild.
@gpowerf oh my god I love abandoned builds. That one is amazing. So many questions!
@adama I’m told it was partly owned by Germans, that the changes that Duterte made to Boracay to try and make it more picturesque and clean it up also affected the economy badly and this hotel was one of the victims. That the double effect of the Duterte rules + the pandemic took it under. The front is currently being unofficially used by local people to serve food to tourists. I had lunch there, was great! All window frames and door seem to have been stolen.
