The whole island of Boracay cannot be considered drug free despite
the strict implementation of the law against illegal drugs.
This was confirmed by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
(PDEA) Regional Director, Atty. Ronnie Delicana.
Upon confirmation that Boracay is not drug free, Delicana
said that PDEA will convince establishments or stakeholders of the island to
enforce a “Drug Free Work Place” Policy at their establishments.
According to Atty. Delicana, this will happen by means of
monitoring by the establishments of their own employees.
Because of this, there is allegedly a plan by PDEA to go to
the island and ask stakeholders to implement the Policy.
Atty. Delicana added that PDEA does not wish for the name of
Boracay to be tarnished because of illegal drugs.
This he said could possibly result to the demise of the
livelihood of employees and businesses in the island.
He further added that the eradication of illegal drugs
cannot be done by the government without the cooperation from the people like
stakeholders.
