To be known as “2012 World’s Best Island” was something that
made the Local Government of Malay glad since allegedly it would result to
better tourism in Boracay Island.
However, scattered electric wires attached by establishments
at the front beach are considered by passersby as dangerous.
A twenty nine (29) year old male made a complaint on such
matter claiming that he was electrocuted on Sunday in front of an establishment
at Station 2, Balabag.
Based on the victim’s complaint at the Boracay Philippine
National Police, he was electrocuted by an extension wire of a seller of
corn. This allegedly occurred around six
thirty in the evening after he and his companion went swimming in the sea. In
an effort to save the victim, the electric wire was pulled by his companion who
was then also electrocuted.
Luckily the victim was saved by the people who were at the
area and the extension wire was then removed.
In relation to this, the Department of Tourism Boracay
promised to call for a meeting. The meeting would include Boracay Foundation
Incorporated, Aklan Electric Cooperative Incorporated, Boracay Chamber of
Commerce and Municipal Engineers Office to investigate and come up with
necessary action on the incident.
