The Caticlan
Coast Guard is now considering placing a K9 at Tabon Port, after motorboat
routes in Boracay has been changed due to the 'habagat' season or the southwest
monsoon.
According to
Chief PT Officer, Ronnie Hiponia of Caticlan Coastguard, they haven’t got a K9
on standby at the Tabon port as of now.
There are
only two of the said k9's which are being used at the Caticlan Jetty Port, particularly
at the RORO area.
However, Hiponia
said that they also send these k9's at Tabon Port in order to assist in baggage
checking, as well as in the Cargo port.
Nevertheless,
for security reasons, they are still sending Coast Guard's Special Operation
Group to watch over the port every day.
Unlike the Caticlan
Jetty port, Tabon Port is being used only if the regular route of motorboats is
altered due to undesirable weathers, the reason it has no x-ray machine and
metal detector to inspect the luggage of tourists bound for Boracay.
