BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan- The Boracay Special Tourists Police Office (BSTPO) here bared security preparations for the Holy Week even as it urged stakeholders to cooperate in order to ensure the peaceful commemoration of the Lenten season.
Supt. Rolando Vilar, chief of the BSTPO, said that proper coordination has already been made with the local government unit (LGU) here and other the stakeholders on how they could be able to help the police ensure peace and order.
One augmentation team, 54 BSTPO organic members, and 150 force multipliers will be deployed in Boracay next week.
"First, we are asking resorts and firms in Boracay to install a close circuit television (CCTV). Another is we asked firm managers to require their respective staff to wear their nameplates or identification cards for easily identification of our police personnel," Vilar said.
The proposal to install CCTV camera came after police received complaints of missing visitors' personal belongings after staying in several resorts. Police believed that the incidents were inside job and were perpetrated by resorts employees.
Vilar said that police officials will also be monitoring the beach 24 hours daily to ensure that no indecent activity will take place.
Aside from foreign and local tourists, celebrities are also expected to come in droves to this resort island for the Holy Week.
Meanwhile, the Caticlan Jetty Port said that it already deployed facilities such are x-ray machines and canine dogs of the Philippine Coast Guard to monitor presence of illegal drugs and weapons that might enter this resort island.
Wow they have PNP now in boracay. I think must need to secure the people who stayed there.
