Boracay is one of the favorite destinations of local celebrities during summer. The island is famous for its white sand and calm blue waters— perfect for relaxation. Sleepless nights are for party people. After sunset, each station in Boracay has its own event, so instead of bar hopping, like in Manila, celebs go station hopping to enjoy the night away and forget their workloads for a while.

While these stars enjoy the offerings of Boracay, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) is busy keeping tabs—where they hang out, what they wear, and what they do on the island. This tradition first started in YES! magazine and now continues in PEP.

This year, PEP made its second to trip Boracay to give readers a glimpse of what celebrities do on the island during Holy Week.

But first, here's a list of celebrity beach bums frequently spotted taking a break in Boracay in past years.

Katrina Halili. FHM's Most Sexy Katrina Halili proved that she deserved to be on the cover of the men's magazine twice when YES! and PEP spotted her last year walking around barefoot and wearing only a brown one-piece bikini. On a different day, Katrina showed off her curves in her zebra print two-piece bikini.

This week, Katrina finished a photo shoot for her first coffee table book. Guess which place she chose for the pictorial.Boracay, of course. In an interview with PEP contributor Nelson Canlas, Katrina related, "Last year ko pa siyang naisip gawin pero ngayon lang ako nakapag-decide na, ‘Sige, ito na yung tamang oras.'"

Polo Ravales. What's the use of being a Cosmopolitan Hunk if Polo Ravales doesn't show off his nice abs in public? And where else but at the beach.

Polo said he frequents Boracay Island every summer, particularly during Holy Week. Last year, he was spotted by PEP enjoying a cold drink from Jonah's Fruitshake. He was wearing only shorts, and an mp3 player plugged in his ears—the perfect look for a guy who has changed from flabby to hunky. A self-confessed gym buff, Polo has every right to go topless in Boracay.

Keempee de Leon. Keempee de Leon is another avid visitor of Boracay during Holy Week. He may not be known as hunk actor (his popular character in Bahay Mo Ba 'To? is a gay guy named Harold), Keempee could still boast masculinity while on the beach.

When PEP spotted him last year, Kempee was wearing the usual men's swimwear, board shorts. In one of our Boracay gallery photos, the caption went, "Keempee walking along the fine sand of Boracay in his cargo pants. The comedian was seen hanging out with a bunch of friends at Jonah's."

Ehra and Michelle Madrigal. Sisters Ehra and Michelle Madrigal also get their yearly dose of tanned skin in Boracay.

For three consecutive years, including this year, YES! and PEP saw these two former FHM cover girls flaunting their sexy bodies along the beach.

After a short photo shoot with the sisters last year, Michelle shrieked, "Eto yung suot ko last year!" The younger Madrigal sister suddenly got conscious of her beach wardrobe in previous years.

Meanwhile, Ehra explained to PEP contributor Nelson Canlas why they always go to Boracay during Holy Week. "Karamihan ng friends ko and family ko nandito rin [sa Boracay], so dito na kami parati kapag Holy Week."

Wendell Ramos. This Bubble Gang mainstay is also a regular beach bum in Boracay. For several years that YES! had been monitoring the celebrity sightings in this popular beach, Wendell was featured in its "Boracay Blast" section every summer.

In 2006, he was seen playing with his junior nicknamed Dedell, his son with former wife Jet. Then, last year, the former Cosmopolitan hunk was seen hanging out with his friends.

Bianca King. This former FHM cover girl simply loves the sea because she's a diving enthusiast.

In the two years that she was seen in Boracay, Bianca did not go underwater to see the beauty of its corals and fishes. Instead, she enjoyed tanning herself under the sun, which is the "in" thing during summer, especially for mestizas like her.

Paolo Contis. Former child star Paolo Contis is also a self-confessed Boracay beach bum. Every year, this Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita actor never fails to visit the summer paradise. This year, Paolo was with his girlfriend Isabel Oli, proving that their relationship is still going strong.

As a gift to his fellow actor, Paolo invited Mark Herras when he found out that the latter has never been to Boracay.
