The
discussion on the second meeting of Boracay Redevelopment Task Force has been
intensive, wherein owners of permanent structures that violated the 25+5 easement
were invited.
The
invited businessmen and representatives were given seven days to correct the
violations found in their structures.
The
meetings were headed by the task force which includes the LGU- Engineering
Office, Zoning Office, DOT, DILG and DENR.
According
to SB Member Rowen Aguirre, the 7-day extension given to the violators is to
show evidence that they are complying substantially.
After
the 7-day grace period, the task force will be conducting a validation process
to begin the 25+5 re-development.
The
task force is determined to implement the ordinance of Malay Memorandum
Circular No.47 of President Benigno Aquino III, which aims to re-organize
Boracay because of overdevelopment and environmental issues.
Aquirre
said that if entrepreneurs care for Boracay, they must sacrifice for the
benefit of all especially for the tourism industry.
Although,
some have requested to prioritize the demolition of the controversial West Cove.
Task
Force Chairman, Engineer Elizer Casidsid added that even those with FLAG-T with
no building permit will also be included in the demolition.
It
is expected that before the end of 2013, all will be orderly in Boracay as what
was stated in the Inter-Agency Task Force or Technical Working Group of
President Aquino.
