BORACAY ISLAND, Malay, Aklan- Business establishments in this resort island are complaining of the blowfly infestation which they said is a threat to the health of tourists apart from being an eyesore.
In his letter addressed to the Barangay Yapak Council, Mark Kirk General Manager of the Shangri-La's Boracay said that they experienced the siege of the blowfly since November 2010. They offered help to solve the issue.
"The source of the blowfly is the decaying and exposed organic waste at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) nearby," said Kirk.
The Shangri-La management has committed to help ensure proper segregation of wastes generated by the hotel, bi-weekly treatments of the MRF and garbage collection trucks.
Cely Recampo, assistant manager for internal operations of the Zoe Mei Resort also complained of similar problems.
Meantime, Yapak barangay captain Hector Casidsid has also vowed to settle the issue.
"My administration assure to do the proper and most efficient way of segregation as well as cleaning the entire community for the sake of my constituents," he said.
Barangay Yapak is experiencing difficulty in putting the MRF in order due to the heavy influx of wastes being dumped into the said facility.
