"We've got no choice"
This is what the
members of the Frost Fire Dancers in Boracay said regarding the Department of
Tourism’s remark on the use of gas in their activity.
According to the
group’s spokesperson, Aragon, he doesn't know of any alternative or any other
gas used in fire dancing other than what they have been using.
The gas used is
international fire dancing is costly, he added.
This followed
after Boracay DOT Officer-in-Charge Tim Ticar said that they will find a way
for the fire dancers to refrain or avoid using gas in their activity.
In line with
this, Aragon said that the DOT has a very good suggestion.
He also admitted
that there are some complaints regarding the smell of gas; Aragon however
assured that they do not perform just anywhere, as they are also being
monitored by the Malay Auxiliary Police or MAP.
They are also
making sure to clear and put their things away after each performance.
The DOT has
previously mentioned in a press conference in Boracay, the negative effects of
the fire dancers’ usage of gas believing it brings about pollution.
