Why sandcastles are disappearing in Boracay?

pinoytumblr:

Precy Sacapaño, a fifty-year-old mother of six used to make a living out of building sandcastles. She is one of the 31 men and women who build miniature replicas of castles along the beaches of Boracay in the municipality of Malay, Aklan—much to the delight of passersby and tourists. Even children helped build the sandcastles.

She and her companions were allowed to make their sandcastles freely without restrictions until January 15, 2008 when the local government started strictly implementing Municipal Ordinance No. 246.

Sand sculptures have since then been strictly prohibited, except for promotional or special events with a mayor’s permit.

“It is very expensive (to get a mayor’s permit), but it’s just us residents here (who are required to do so),” Precy said.  “Visitors can make sandcastles as they please without having to worry about being penalized.”

Today, Precy and 30 other Zone 5 residents now have to pay P100 daily to the municipal government for every square meter of space they use in building sandcastles. On top of that, they have to pay P600 for a special permit to make one sandcastle for a company or for a special occasion.
