BORACAY ISLAND, Malay Aklan- The Malay municipal council is studying the possibility of designating a terminal for tricycles plying in this resort island.
Currently, the council faces difficulty in finding a location since most of the vacant lot in this resort island was owned by the state being represented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
To recall the Supreme Court had ruled out that Boracay Island is an agriculture reserved zone and all the parcels of land thereof are being owned by the state.
Because of this, the Malay council plans to have a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the DENR to provide them a location as terminals for tricycles, which are the common medium of transport in Boracay.
Another option, the Malay council considers is to have an agreement among the existing land users.
In the absence of terminals, drivers park their tricycles anywhere in Boracay that causes an eye sore for tourists.
Apart from easing up of the traffic situation, the council believed that tariff rates can already be properly implemented if they there is a terminal.
