When in #Boracay ICYDK The residents claim that it got the name Boracay from the local word “borac” which means “white cotton”. The color white and the texture originated from the white sugary and powdery sand. Centuries before it was a popular tourism destination, the island was home to about 100 indigenous Ati people, who spoke a Visayan language called Inati. They fished, grew rice, corn, and coconuts, and grazed a few goats, living harmoniously off the land in small communities. Later in the 20th century, the locals would fill up cans of puka shells that washed up in abundance of their north shore and sell them by the barrel full to jewelry makers from the cities #theTravellingRing #travellingring #trabahoKoGala #malay #beach #sand #provincialCapitol #whitebeach #DMall #Wikipedia #easterSunday #caticlan
