VIGILANCE AMONG BORACAY TOURISTS URGED

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is urging tourists on world-renowned Boracay Island to be vigilant at all times. Boracay Philippine National Police Senior Inspector Mark Evan Salvo said snatching incidents have been very common crimes on the island lately. Foreign visitors, particularly Chinese, Korean, and Europeans are the common victims of snatching of wallets and electronic gadgets which they usually leave on the beach while they go swimming or lie on the sand sunbathing. Salvo said he has directed for more police visibility.
