Twenty units of
Mountain Bikes are set to be turned over to the members of the Boracay Tourists
Assistance Center (BTAC) today.
According to
BTAC Chief Police Sr./Insp. Joeffer Cabural, the said turn over will be led by
Philippine National Police Director General, Alan Purisima.
He will be
joined by Provincial Governor Joeben Miraflores, Malay Mayor John Yap, DOT
Regional Director Atty. Helen Catalbas, DILG-6 Regional Director Evelyn
Trompeta, and some representatives of stakeholders in the island.
The event will
be conducted together with the Ground Breaking Ceremony for the construction of
a PNP Tourists Training School at Sitio Bantud, Brgy. Manoc-manoc.
Cabural also
said that these bicycles are intended not to compete with the motorcycles but
for the prompt response to any untoward incidents on the island.
It also aims to widen
the force’s Area of Responsibility, especially during patrols.
Previously, 20
BTAC members have undergone a 2-week “Bicycle Training” at Camp Delgado in
Iloilo City.
This was the first
batch of training for the new PNP Program, which focuses primarily in Western
Visayas, particularly in Boracay Island.
