Boracay employees mandated to undergo x-ray examination

Employees working for private and public firms in this resort island who will be hired or will renew their job contracts beginning January 2013 will have to undergo x-ray examination.
"We admit that this will be an additional burden to employees but we only wanted Boracay as a premier tourism destination to have a healthy working environment," said Malay Mayor John Yap.
This development came into light when the local council reviewed Malay's sanitation ordinance and discovered that it was already prescribed that all employees needed x-ray examination before allowing to work.
"Although the local law covers all employees, it also emphasized that those working in the food service sector will be prioritized. We are now strictly implementing this," Yap said.
The local government warned that it would not renew business permits of business firms that will be discovered violating the said ordinance.
