Vehicles rendering
service to tourists at Boracay and Kalibo are being scrutinized by the
Department of Tourism (DOT).
This is so since
when it is about tourist transportation, the DOT is in charge of its
endorsement.
The scrutiny is
allegedly to make sure that the facilities are presentable and comfortable for
passengers of shuttle buses, vans and other vehicles servicing tourists.
According to Tim
Ticar, the DOT Boracay Officer In Charge, vehicles which are more than two (2)
years old are no longer endorsed.
Ticar added that in
the inspection that is being conducted, it is being made certain that chairs,
the airconditioning and the vehicles themselves are still in good condition.
Nevertheless, when
it comes to “kolorums” or those without franchise, and the so called “Made in
Italy,” referring to vehicles whose backside are already attached to vehicles
just by the use of “tali” or rope in English but are still used for
transportation at Caticlan and Kalibo, this allegedly is already the obligation
of the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
