BORACAY — The municipal government of Malay, which has jurisdiction over this resort island, recently released a poster presenting the ways on how to help preserve Boracay.
This poster intends to complement the local legislations passed by the Town Council for the preservation and conservation of this world-renowned resort island.
According to Malay Mayor John Yap, among these legislations were:
* Municipal Ordinance No. 100, series of 1996 (anti-smoking)
* Municipal Ordinance No. 272, series of 2009 (no smoking by the beach)
* Municipal Ordinance No. 2001-141 (anti-extraction of sand and pebbles)
* Municipal Ordinance No. 98-116 (no urinating and defecating on the beach)
* Municipal Ordinance Nos. 182-2003 and 92-1996 (no pets are allowed by the beachfront), and
* Municipal Ordinance No. 132-2000 (no eating and drinking of liquor by the beach)
Erring residents and tourists who will violate the said ordinances “will be penalized, depending on the gravity of the violation,” said Yap.
Nevertheless, “our local enforcers will strictly impose the penalties and there will be no exemptions,” the mayor added.
