Moratorium for releasing of permit to transport vehicles in Boracay

The local government of Malay will be temporarily suspending the releasing of permit to transport vehicles after it discovered that there are too many illegally transported vehicles in this resort island.

Cesar Oczon Jr., senior transportation regulation officer of the Municipal Transportation Office, said that they discovered many vehicles with fake permits and stickers in Boracay.

"We are currently investigating this incident," he said.

The suspension of releasing of permits to transport will be due on Friday, January 24. Oczon gave no definite dates yet as to when will the releasing of transport permits resume.

He warns those who are behind the issuance of fake permit to transport to be penalized.

The usage of several vehicle owners of fake permit to transport contributes to the worsening traffic condition in this resort island.(
