KALIBO, Aklan – The Aklan Police Provincial Office here assures that Boracay Island is safe for ASEAN delegates should they visit the island after the Jan. 10-15 Summit in Cebu City.
APPO director William Macavinta said the PNP has readied everything in anticipation of the ASEAN delegates’ arrival in the island.
“We have already activated the Task Force Bantay Boracay, and with the full implementation of the One Entry, One Exit policy in the island, the police station in Cagban is manned 24 hours. Security has also been tightened at the Caticlan Jetty Port,” Macavinta said.
Macavinta said that for the protection of tourists, visitors and residents of the island, the PNP force in the island underwent training conducted by the Australian Embassy which centered on identifying modern trends of explosive devices, “ so anytime, the PNP is ready and can react anytime.”
