BORACAY ISLAND: There is a need for world–class police protection in Boracay with the influx ofvisitors to the island.
This was raised by Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesman Chief Supt. Samuel Pagdilao in aforum, Talakayan sa Isyung Pulis (TSIP) on Saturday, reported Panay News.
Pagdilao cited how the tourism industry suffered in early 2000 after the Abu Sayyaf terroristgroup raided a resort in Palawan.
“We do not want it to happen again. The police play a great role in presenting an image of peaceand order for potential foreign and local tourists visiting Boracay,” Pagdilao said.
Pagdilao and Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) director Chief Supt. Wilfredo Dulay discussed thevarious security preparations in the island.
Dulay said the PNP leadership has been supporting the needs of the PNP personnel in Boracay.
The PNP projected a 20-percent increase in tourist arrival by December from the more or less500,000 tourists recorded in 2006.
