This year there
are almost 17,000 workers and or employees in Boracay.
This is
according to Malay Public employment Officer (PESO) Dennis Briones during an
interview.
Briones said
that they have a record of 12,000 employees from different establishments in
the island.
And this does
not include the construction workers and laborers.
If they however
will be counted the number could reach up to 16,000.
Moreover, he
said that the drivers which are more than 100 have yet to be added.
Meanwhile the
X-ray examination for employees as a requirement for them to acquire a Health
Certificate, particularly the front liners and food handlers, is targeted to be
implemented in January.
If this will
push through, thousands of people will need access to x-ray machines. It was
learned that there’s only three of these in the Municipality of Malay, one in
Boracay Hospital, one in a private Clinic, and another at the Baptist Hospital
in Caticlan.
