Duterte then ordered Cabinet to prepare for the closure of the island by April 26, without consultation with local stakeholders and in the absence of any master plan for the development and rehabilitation of the island, or contingency plans for the livelihoods and relocation of those affected. 
Na ndipo Duterte alipolitaka baraza la Mawaziri kufanya maandalizi ya kukifunga kisiwa hiki hadi kufika Aprili 26, bila hata ya kushauriana na wadau wakaazi na bila ya uwepo wa mpango kazi wowote wa kuendeleza na kuboresha kisiwa wala kuwepo kwa mpango wa muda mrefu wa maisha ya watu na utoaji wa makazi mapya kwa wale walioathirika.
