The Boracay Tourist Assistance Center (BTAC) is ready with
regard to the New Year celebration in Boracay Island.
This was according to the Boracay PNP Chief Police Inspector,
Fidel Gentallan.
Stationed BTAC’s personnel are allegedly ready to give
assistance to tourists and residents of the island particularly to those who
will be watching the fireworks during the midnight, Monday, December 31.
Gentallan also gave reminders to everyone to be always on
alert of opportunists.
Included in his reminders was that it would be better if
someone would stay at home or the place where they stay, and make sure doors
and windows are locked. He added that the public should be careful when they
are shopping or visiting places and persuaded everyone to welcome the New Year
in a safe manner.
On the other hand, Boracay Hospital is also ready for the
possible victims of the New Year Celebration tonight according to the Officer 3
Dr. Jeneth Japitan.
Supplies for dressing, tetanus toxoids and for first aid are

patient will have to be transferred to a bigger hospital.
The hospital will allegedly keep watch together with the Philippine
Red Cross tonight.
Japitan also cautioned that children are prohibited from possessing
firecrackers, and that it is prohibited for drunken adults to light firecrackers
since it is dangerous.
