Not all equipments entering
Boracay Island goes through the Malay Transportation Office (MTO).
This was learned after
alleged illegal construction equipments that entered the island were discovered
on Thursday, December 12.
According to Malay
Transportation Officer Cezar Oczon, there are those who get permit at the
Mayor’s Office of the Local Government of (LGU) Malay in order for their
equipments to be allowed to enter Boracay.
On the other hand, Oczon
said the entry of vehicles is illegal, if for example, a permit has been
secured for ten (10) vehicles and additional number of vehicles without permit
has been added.
He added that the permit
they issue is meant for the equipment or equipments to operate only inside the
resort to whom the permit has been issued and its operation on the Main Road of
Boracay is highly prohibited.
The said vehicles could
also be impounded by the LGU of Malay if a permit could not be right away
secured and P2, 000 penalty be paid.
Meanwhile, Oczon said the
heavy equipments were able to enter the island on Thursday, December 12 because
allegedly the construction of New Coast Boracay is being rushed.
