BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - A sociology professor at the Miriam University in Manila favored the crafting of the local ordinance prohibiting sex in public places and encouraging foreign tourists to respect the Filipino culture.
A national television network recently showed footage of a Western couple having live sex at the white beach during New Year's eve. Said video created a stir in the tourism industry.
"It is good that somebody from the media has created awareness on the said matter, it may have been done by other tourists in the past but it is now time for Boracay authorities to put a stop on displaying sex in public places," said Professor Jose Al Leonidas of the Miriam University.
Leonidas was here over the weekend visiting his relatives. He also gave seminar on time management for the alumni at the Lezo Technical College.
"Boracay Island is in the Philippines. Filipino people wanted it to become a wholesome and family tourism destination. The couple should have been done the act in their resort. They should have to respect the culture of Filipinos in the first place. In our country, public display of affection is still considered immoral act, how much more sexual act in public places?," Leonidas explained.
The Malay council which has a jurisdiction over Boracay plans to craft this week an ordinance prohibiting sexual acts in any public places here.
Recently, China considered this resort island as one of the best honeymoon destinations in the world.
