We went to Boracay in Aug 2017 and it was pretty trashy looking for sure. As was stated above, trash all along the waterline of the beach and in the water itself.
Blows my mind as well how many people simply throw their trash on the ground. I had a discussion with my gf about doing that as she is prone to doing it also.
Same here in Bacolod. It seems to be part of their culture.
