Instead of tourists being seen at West Cove, the so called
Pacquiao Resort in Boracay, soldiers, police and members of the Malay Auxiliary
Police were seen at the resort.
This was after the Mayor of Malay, Mayor John Yap brought
them along not for sightseeing but to implement a demolition order against the
resort.
It was learned that the resort has been given two (2)
closure orders by the Mayor allegedly due to the following violations: having
no Mayor’s Permit, Business Permit, Building and Occupancy Permit and
Environmental Compliance Certificate.
Meanwhile, West Cove resort owner Crisostomo “Cris” Aquino
reiterated that he had a Forest Land Use Agreement for Tourism Purposes or
Flag-T from the former Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Secretary Lito Atienza the reason why he was confident the site of the resort
was not at the No Build Zone.
Such led the resort owner to ask for help in the form of
Temporary Restraining Order to continue the resort’s operation.
In the meantime, after the resort’s alleged continuous non
compliance, like on not adding any structure at the area, it was deemed
necessary by the Mayor of Malay and the DENR to implement the demolition.
