The palm-studded island of Boracay - with its white,
talcum-fine beach, balmy weather and warm, crystalline waters - is like
a hypnotic magnet that lures many to a lotus existence. In this tiny,
butterfly-shaped island at the northwestern tip of Pana in Western Visayas,
days can be spent by simply lazing on the beach and nights are for indulging
in the tropical party lifestyle. Boracay is an anchor tourist destination
and one of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the Philippine archipelago.
