Town council to probe proposed shooting range in Boracay resort

The Municipal Council of Malay, Aklan is set to conduct an inquiry on the proposal of a resort here to build a shooting range.

The schedule of the inquiry has not been disclosed yet.

Councilor Floribar Bautista said Thursday he is objecting the said proposal because it will create a negative image for Boracay.

"If the plan pushes through, the idea would then be duplicated by other resorts," Bautista said, adding that this may spark an increase of gun owners in this resort-island.

The Municipal Council will conduct the investigation to determine if the proposed location of the shooting range is safe for local residents. Council members will conduct an ocular inspection inside the resort where the shooting range is being proposed.

The Philippine National Police had earlier said it is up to the Department of Tourism whether to recommend the proposal or not.
