The immediate approval of House Bill
No. 4796 of Aklan Representative Florencio ‘Joeben’ Miraflores, which grants
land titling in Boracay is the hope of the local government of Malay and the
claimants or lot owners in the island.
This is if the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) will pursue the 30 meter width of
roads in the island which the agency plans to include in the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan/CLUP of Boracay.
According to SB Member Rowen
Aguirre, if this shall happen, possibility is, lots near the roads will no
longer be a property of a certain individual but will become a part of the
streets.
However if the DENR’s plan will push
through, Aguirre doubts if there will be any demolition, as the local
government itself had granted the establishments a permit to build and operate.
They can’t just let it be torn down.
This issue has previously been
debated by the LGU Malay and the DENR, as the local government is fighting for
the 12 meter road width in the island as this is what is stated in the town’s
ordinance.
