The Town Council
of Malay seems to be asking the Provincial Government as to where the 15% of
the environmental fee collectibles that the local government of Malay has been
giving the province has gone to.
This is what SB
Member Rowen Aguirre’s privilege speech contains during the council’s session
last Tuesday wherein he recommended to his fellow councilmen to send a letter
to the provincial government.
This is to ask
that the town of Malay be given a copy of the projects where the province’s 15%
share from the environmental fee has been used.
Aguirre said,
according to the ordinance which states the division of environmental fee
collectibles between the province and the local government of Malay, their
shares should also be used for environmental projects and that this should
benefit Boracay.
He added that if
the province does not do the following, this is a clear violation of the
ordinance.
Aside from this
Aguirre had also assigned the Town Council Secretary to send an official
communication to inquire from the Treasury of Malay on the total remittances to
the province starting from 2006 when the collection of environmental fee was
started.

Where does the money go to help manage the environment? Is it being pocketed by some unconcerned officials? Has any one of the concerned Malay goverment see what is going on in the island? There was a documented proof the rash is all over the island. Employees of some hotels burrying the trash in the sand. Out of sight, out of mind. You do not see so it is not happenning theory and practices mentality. The Malay officials is quick in owning the prestige as Boracay is a #1 vacation destination internationally. Wow!really? Look around all over the island, we know it is not true!
