“Bad image” for
Boracay
This is the
effect of the worsening situation with what was called the “lady boys” in the
island and the harassment and robbery they are committing against the tourists.
According to
Department of Tourism Officer in Charge, Tim Ticar, if this annoyance will
continue, to the extent of “harassment” as some of these lady boys will even
force tourists to be their customers, this will alter the image of Boracay.
The tourists
will be going home with a bad experience and may pass it on to other possible visitors
instead of promoting the island.
He also noted the
bother it caused to those people who just wanted to go for a walk or bar hopping.
In line with
this Ticar also communicated with the Malay Auxiliary Police or MAP as they are
the implementer of the law and monitor the activities of these lady boys.
He also
mentioned how, through the cooperation of stakeholders, the guards in resorts
and establishments could be of help in this issue.
The Boracay
Police had previously acknowledged the dilemma with these lady boys who are involved
with prostitution, deceit, harassment, and robbery, victimizing tourists particularly
the foreigners.
