One of the current priorities
of the Philippine National Red Cross Malay Boracay Chapter in their Life
Guarding Services is the management and training for the Life Guard in the
island.
This is the plan by the
Red Cross especially that a trainer was sent by the Philippine National Red
Cross in the person of David Field, a professional lifeguard whose objective is
to complete his commitment of giving sufficient capability to the Life Guards
and to lessen the cases of drowning in the island.
The target of Red Cross
is allegedly to make Boracay a Safe Destination and for Boracay to attain
international standard when it comes to life saving.
Although some members of
the Life Guard have undergone training, Field admitted in his presentation at
the Town Council that aside from the problem of insufficient number of
lifeguards on duty, the Life Guards’ capability is still lacking.
Field added that it can
be expected that the Red Cross will also have its Life Guards who have
sufficient capability, while the former Life Guards will be monitoring the
beach line particularly the swimming area.
Included in the plan is
the strict implementation of the red flag for the safety of swimmers.
