About 93 percent
of resorts in Boracay have followed the 25+5 meter easement rule.
The National
Technical Working Group (NTWG) however said that the ocular inspection
conducted from Stations 1 to 3 showed that there are still some establishments
that haven’t abided with the 25+5 set back which is within the 5-year Boracay
Redevelopment Plan.
In line with
this, resort owners were given until March 15 to carry out the ordinance.
If they fail to
follow the directive, the local government itself will demolish any structures
within the easement rule.
The 25+5 meter
easement rule is an ordinance by the government where no structures shall be
built 30 meters from the shore line.
Meanwhile, the
ocular inspection on the island was attended by Local Government Secretary Mar
Roxas, Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez and the officials of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
