MB FILE – Boracay (Hesvey Martin Barbadillo)
Amidst a terrorism warning, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has beefed up its presence at world-famous Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan.
Police Superintendent Gilbert Gorero, chief information officer of the Police Regional Office (PRO-6), said that the PNP are taking precautionary measures.
This after the U.S. Embassy in Manila included Boracay in the list where Abu Sayyaf Group and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters may possibly attack and may attempt a kidnap-for-ransom. The December 23, 2015 advisory urged U.S. citizens to travel with “extreme caution.”
Even before the terror alert, Diaz earlier explained that police presence in Boracay Island has always been a priority as it is the country’s premier tourist destination.
Gorero said that aside from the police, there are units from the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy and Philippine Coast Guard deployed in Boracay.
“Everything is in order, Boracay is still safe,” Gorero assured
