BORACAY ISLAND -- More than 300 South Korean tourists are still stranded in this resort island and in neighboring areas.
Soojin Kim, coordinator of the Boracay Korean Community, said the number does not include children.
“They wanted to go home because of the Covid-19 pandemic,” she said.
Last May 1, some 187 South Koreans boarded a repatriation flight at the Caticlan airport.
Kim said the flight was in coordination of the Consul of the South Korean Embassy based in Cebu.
“I do not know when will be the next repatriation flight,” she added.
In 2019, South Koreans make up for the second highest number of foreign tourists in Boracay Island next to the Chinese nationals. (SunStar Philippines)
