BORACAY Island- The collection of Boracay terminal port boosted with the six-day daily flight of the Sea Air from Incheon, South Korea to Kalibo Airport, Caticlan Jetty Port Administrator Nieven Maquirang reported.
In his first-half report to Governor Carlito Marquez, Maquirang stated that an over-all P24, 269, 185.02 for January-June report funds was collected from the operation of the terminal including wharfage, terminal fee among others.
"The value is much higher compared to our first-half report in 2006 wherein we only collected P19,489,469, 185.67," Maquirang said.
The operation of the six day- daily flight each week started this July. At the start of the inauguration flight last May, the Sea Air only travels three times a week.
Despite the continuous increase of the terminal collection, however, tourists here didn’t appreciate the increase because of the unsanitary condition of the terminal jetty port’s comfort rooms and the lack of air-conditioning facilities.
"We have already asked the provincial capitol to provide us the necessary funds for the operation and maintenance of the terminal. We hope to recieve the things we need soon," Maquirang said.
The jetty port has been included in the P250 million annual budget approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan in the Economic Enterprise Zone.
