Proposal to build Boracay bridge under way

The Municipal Planning Office of Malay, Aklan has already put into their list of priorities the proposal to build a bridge connecting Boracay to Caticlan, Malay.
The inclusion of investing in a bridge was recently presented by the local government during the presentation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the municipality.
Engr. Roger Esto, director of the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO), said he is aware of the proposal but has not yet discussed it with the local government for implementation.
Report said the San Miguel Brewery Corporation has expressed interest in funding the said Boracay bridge.
"Aside from environmental and traffic concerns, another factor to be considered is the loss of livelihood of hundred of boatmen who bring tourists to and from Boracay," Esto said in an interview Thursday.
Also, the PPDO wishes to know the detailed traffic plan for Boracay once the proposed bridge has been constructed.
