The Aklan Police targets to make Boracay a gun free area as
this is a tourist destination, this however is not easy to achieve.
According to Police Senior Superintendent Cornello Defensor,
Provincial Director of Aklan
Police Provincial Office, not until the law relating to gun carrying
will be refilled to exempt Boracay they cannot prohibit anyone who enters
Boracay possessing the said weapon, especially if it is licensed and owned by a
security agency.
He added that because the issuance of permit to carry
continues, they can’t stop those who bring a firearm whilst entering Boracay.
Nonetheless the Provincial Director said that they are doing
everything to make this tourism area a gun free zone.
This explanation by Defensor was stated during an interview
yesterday morning followed after subsequent accounted cases on the island like the
indiscriminate firing last week, complaints about a stray bullet, and the harassment
of a certain security guard against his colleague using a gun.
