The Boracay Island Hopping Association
(BIHA) refuted an accusation that they disposed used crude oil at the Bolabog
Beach last week.
According to BIHA Chairman Rigoberto Gelito
Jr. they conducted an investigation among their members, and he personally
delved into the issue at the said area.
This is in relation to an alleged witness’ disclosure
of island hopping boats dumping used oil in the seas.
A claim, which Gelito said, might have been
performed by others and was diverted to them.
Meanwhile, the chairman also released a
memorandum order for BIHA members, stating that whoever will be caught liable
of the violation will be met with a corresponding penalty that could lead to cancelation
of membership.
Gelito pointed out that discarding used
crude oil in the waters of Boracay is strictly prohibited by the association.
