The ordinance prohibiting and regulating the use of
plastic bag and Styrofoam in the town of Malay especially in Boracay Island,
has delighted the Department of Tourism (DoT) in Boracay.
In an interview, Department of Tourism (DoT) Boracay
Officer in Charge, Tim Ticar optimistically received the planned implementation
of the Municipal Ordinance #320 so that, allegedly, the island will be plastic
free.
Ticar acknowledged that one of the serious problems faced
today by the “2012 Best Beach in the World,” which is Boracay, is the problem
on environment because of huge amount of garbage especially during Summer
Season wherein many tourists are expected to go to Boracay.
According to Ticar, the move is hoped to be one of the
solutions of the local government of Malay in order to sustain the environment
of the island and for it to be “Plastic Free.”
Although Ticar believes that at first the ordinance is
difficult to implement, he has high hopes for it especially if it is
implemented well.
This is so since allegedly everyone is currently helping each
other for Boracay, and that even the national government is already focusing on
the island.
