Boracay Island- Learning lessons from the controversial Luneta hostage taking incident, the Boracay Foundation Incorporated (BFI) asked Police Regional Director for Western Visayas, Chief Supt. Samuel Pagdilao to reinstall Supt. Arnold Ardiente as chief of the Boracay Special Tourist Protection Office (BSTPO).

Loubelle Cann, president of the BFI recently met with Pagdilao to discuss the possibility of bringing Ardiente back to the post.

Ardiente currently heads the PNP's Provincial Mobile Group in the nearby Capiz proince.

The former BSTPO chief was relieved after a businessman filed a complaint against him last year.

Business groups here earlier requested for Ardiente's reinstatement, but they were denied.

Ardiente hails from Ibajay, Aklan.

Pagdilao, on the other hand, vowed to study the BFI's concern.

Supt. Rolando Vilar currently leads the BSTPO. However, reports said he will soon be relieved as part of the regular police reshuffling.


Meanwhile, some sectors here are also requesting for the reinstatement of Senior Inspector Christopher Prangan to the Boracay police.


Prangan had also been a BSTPO chief.
