The Municipal
Council of Malay is now studying an ordinance related to violations of fire
dancers in Boracay.
During the
Council’s Session last Tuesday, SB Member Floribar Bautista passed an ordinance
regarding the use of kerosene during the said activity.
It stated that violators
will be met with corresponding punishment.
DOT Regional
Director Helen Catalbas, had earlier stated that the gas used in fire dancing can
destroy and or pollute the white sands.
On the other
hand, the fire dancers said they will be saddened if the activity will be entirely
prohibited, adding that this contributes in tourist attraction.
Other members of
the council agree on the mentioned ordinance, thus it will be tackled on a
committee hearing next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the DOT
Boracay is continuously seeking for a solution on what alternative gas to use in
exchange to kerosene that the fire dancers are currently using.
