Boracay Island (and it’s 3 barangays) are part of the Municipality of Malay in the Panay Island. From Boracay Tambisaan Jetty Port, I rode a ferry that took me back to Caticlan. I rode a tricycle and asked to be taken to the Municipal Hall of Malay, Aklan where Boracay is a part of.
I took some photos of the Malay Church (St Joseph Parish Church) and Rizal’s Monument. Nearby is the Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park. After Malay, I planned to visit the other municipalities on my way to Kalibo, Aklan but I found it difficult because there are no jeepney routes.
I decided to go straight to Kalibo, Aklan and bypass the other municipalities because the fare for the van trip is the same whether it’s near or far.
Here’s more information of Malay, Aklan from PhilAtlas:
