Harassment

While in Boracay, the locals needless to say, tend to hustle you for your money. They will hound you right from the start about buying products or services they offer and be relentless throughout your vacation. It's like the D-end in football going after the quarterback, ALL DAY! Depending on the person you are, this maybe very offensive to you. However taking it from the local’s perspective, this is how they earn their living. Granted, it is not a 9-5 job, but it is a way to put food on the table. In addition, you can see at night why they need to hustle. There are kids no older than 5 years old sleeping on the ground. There are infants that have no shelter. If you were put into this situation, there is no choice.
