The proposal would turn the town of Malay, which includes Boracay Island, into a new city called Malay Boracay. The city would get the same powers as other cities—like collecting taxes, owning waterworks, and reclaiming coastal land—but it cannot raise tax rates for five years. Its creation only takes effect after a majority of local voters approve it in a plebiscite held within 60 days of the bill’s passage.
