BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan- Operation of motor bancas plying the Boracay-Caticlan route and vice-versa has been extended until 10 p.m. this Holy Week to accommodate the influx of tourists.
Niven Maquirang, Caticlan port administrator, however, said that they are still open to the possibility of further extending the operation, depending on the demand of tourists coming to and from Boracay.
During regular days, the operation of bancas is only until 8 p.m.
"The extension of the operation also depends on the weather condition. So far, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has forecasted a summer weather for Boracay this week," Maquirang said.
Maquirang also said that hotels in this resort island are already fully booked as tourists started coming in.
"Tourists who failed to have early hotel reservations may opt to stay in residential houses. There are many houses in Boracay that are open for staying overnight," he added.
The peak season is expected to end Monday next week.
