Members of
the Haulers’ Cooperative in Boracay will be talking to Aklan Governor
Miraflores regarding their problems with quarried aggregates in the island.
According
to Boracay Malay Sea and Land Haulers Multi-Purpose Cooperative Chairman Edgar
Marasigan Jr., there are shortages of quarried aggregates in the island, and
they were not supplied with high quality sand.
This in
turn made the Boracay contractors to also complain as the sand being supplied
fails to pass the standards.
Things are
worse for the cooperative because Ibajay could no longer supply them with sand
more so that Aklan Governor Miraflores declared a moratorium for quarrying
activities in the province.
Meanwhile,
they are not convinced with the promise made by Aklan Provincial Government
representative Engr. Leo Pareña, with whom they once conducted a meeting regarding
with the mentioned problem.
Pareña
have said to give a word that the cooperative, though only having one supplier
in Caticlan, will be provided with enough aggregates and sands.
In line
with this, the Haulers’ cooperative is hoping that the governor will hear out
their appeal.
