		Taking diplomats on a tour of the islands last week, Braganza handed out "Adventure Hundred Islands" T-shirts and caps as he spoke about the re-launch -- to be timed with the fiesta season in May -- of the island cluster back among the country's top tourist attractions.
		Braganza has made the revival of the Hundred Islands as an eco-tourism destination his priority since winning the mayorship last year, when the former congressman and Cabinet secretary made a surprising exit from the national stage and returned to small-town politics.
		To discourage such destructive practices, the Hundred Islands revival program will not be all about tourism but will have a "livelihood component." The master plan designates aquaculture zones in waters outside the park, where there will be sections devoted to oyster or seaweed farming, for example.

		These small islands are rockier in appearance than those found elsewhere in the islands; their trees have retreated, pushed by the relentless southerlies that harden her shore.
		Shaw Island is at the heart of it all, positioned snug within the archipelago, surrounded by Orcas to the north, Lopez to the south, and San Juan to the west.
		Shaw is the one island that appears from the water to offer symmetry in traveling the length of her shore, hints of sandy beaches in secluded coves, quiet bays from which to seek solitude, and dense forested banks that seem to hide her interior well enough to the naked eye.

		Their numbers were decimated almost a hundred and fifty years ago when missionaries' attempts to 'civilize' the group resulted in their exposure to western illnesses such as influenza and mumps which became lethal among the till then unexposed population.

		But as we race against time to preserve the Hundred Islands from further physical degradation and keep it as the province's premier tourist destination, Alaminos City Mayor Nani Braganza should no longer wait on the PTA to make its move.
		More than this, tourists must be educated on the islands' legend, their history, their names, their attractions, their contributions to ecology, the need to preserve them, and the people's and government efforts to maintain them.
		This way, tourists will better appreciate the islands and make them develop a sense of attachment and responsibility to make them feel that they, too, are co-owners and stakeholders that they are obliged to take care of them.
