Life Guard
Boracay has until October 22, Monday, to submit the lists of the needed rescue equipments
to the Municipal Council of Malay.
This followed
after the three SB committees, specifically the Committee on Public Safety and
Order, Laws and Ordinances and Tourism had found out, during a Joint Committee Hearing
that the Life Savers are lacking equipments for rescuing lives particularly for
those tourists who will be swimming on the 4-kilometer beach front of Boracay.
According to
Life Guard Supervisor, Miguel “Mike” Labatiao, the list of equipments that they
will be requesting will include two jet-skis and a bug car, for a prompt response,
telescopes and other floating equipment.
They will also
be requesting for additional life guard towers, as only two of it remains, while
the others were destroyed.
Moreover, the
Supervisor said that they will be asking the LGU for 15 more personnel.
They will also
be assigning a life guard at Puka Beach in Yapak.
Labatiao admitted
that these equipments are costly and that the LGU is now thinking of the sources
in order to fund it.
Meanwhile, now
that there is an influx of tourists in Boracay, their security and safety must
also be given attention.
