BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - The Malay Council, which has jurisdiction in this resort island, has asked the Tourism Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) to revive and complete its pending storm drainage project here.
Malay Councilor Jonathan Cabrerra, who filed a resolution in the council seeking for the completion of the project, said the TIEZA has already started constructing the drainage project, but that it has been suspended due to the problem with the contractor.
"The project construction has been started three years ago. The rainy season is coming so Boracay Island needs a functional drainage project by now," said Cabrera.
The TIEZA is formerly known as the Philippine Tourism Authority.
During rainy season, some lowland areas in Boracay island experience flooding due to the absence of drainage system.
Last September, Atty. Edgar Bocar representing the TIEZA said they are planning to resume the project by November this year.
