“It is time to cooperate for the development of the island”
This was the statement on Sunday, August 25 of the BFI
President, Jony Salme regarding the demolition issue of illegal structures of
establishments at the front beach.
He pointed that because the island of Boracay is already being
observed by the National Government, the law already needed to be implemented
for the island.
However, Salme said that they did not yet have an update when
the start of the self-demolition of affected establishments since he was not
able to attend the meeting of the Boracay Re-Development Task Force on the mentioned plan of the LGU of
Malay.
Nevertheless, BFI will be expecting that the owners of
establishments to be affected by the demolition at the front beach will cooperate
according to Salme.
He added that this was the case since each has a
responsibility to which each is already aware of.
The example given was those from Station 1 who had discussed
and had agreed to cooperate with the Local Government of Malay.
Previously, the
Boracay Re-Development Task Force had given a seven (7) day self-demolition of
illegal structures at the vegetation area.
The BFI President added that it is expected that an
extension will be asked by those concerned because of the short period of time
given by the task force, and complicating the matter is the current unfavorable
weather.
According to Salme, the measures are in the law and even the
BFI is ready to help the LGU of Malay for the development of the island.
