PNP bags 59 local, foreign criminals in Boracay in 2014

The Boracay Philippines National Police have arrested 59 foreign and local wanted criminals in this resort island in 2014.

PO3 Christopher Mendoza, information officer of the Boracay Tourists Assistance Center (BTAC) of the PNP, said that at least 24 foreigners of different nationalities had been arrested in the year 2014.

Around 35 Filipino wanted persons coming from different provinces were also arrested. The Boracay PNP made the arrests in coordination with different international and provincial police organizations.

"The wanted foreigners arrested include a Russian for the crime of Acts of Lasciviousness and a South Korean for the crime of rape," Mendoza said.

The Boracay PNP also included in its report the arrest of a hotel guard Daniel Celestino in Laguna. Celestino is considered a prime suspect in the killing of an aeta spokesman here in February 2013.

Celestino, before his arrest, was considered number 2 most wanted in Boracay. Other arrested local most wanted persons included Melba Bulabos Boyles for 35 counts of Qualified Theft; Jun Solis Magbanua for the crimes of murder and rape by sexual assault in relation to R.A.7610 respectively; Rank No. 4 Daisy Suacillo Dalisay for the crime of estafa and Rank No. 11 Jicky Belon Ambito for the crime of qualified theft.

Mendoza also said that the Boracay PNP had helped in the arrests of 41 persons including two female Taiwanese tour guides in separate drug operations.

  1. recently had my bag with belongings, cash and cards stolen from a chair at the Boracay Regency Beach Resort and Spa run by Henann Group of Resorts. The chair was right in front of Wave Bar & Lounge. As a guest staying in the hotel it was disappointing to learn they refused to pay any form of compensation for a loss which occurred in their own marked out area on the beach, right under the watch of their security guards. The resort manager Dindo Salazar said they take no responsibility and that they are forced to hire 3rd party security guards by the government. He indicated that upon speaking to the security firm that the 2 guards on duty that morning were to be relieved of their duties. The police at the station where the crime was reported told me the resort should take responsibility for thefts at their property. Seems like common sense, socially responsible, and good customer service to do so. This especially when a paying guest has been stolen from, inconvenienced and stressed from a theft off a resort chair. The police said there was a report that the thief took my bag and slid it up the front of their shirt, then took off down the road. Apparently this all happened on a very quiet beach at 7am without the security or other resort staff noticing. I was told by Dindo that my request for compensation could only be authorised by the owners of the resort, and after he brought up my case with both Karl Chusuey and Henry Chusuey (owners of Boracay Regency Beach Resort and Spa and Henann Resorts) that they refused to pay. Take this as a warning about the safety of Boracay, and the perceived safety of leaving your belongings within the secure area of resorts.
