Boracay security tightened

 Security in this resort island has been tightened to ensure the safety of tourists this Yuletide and possibly until the summer vacation next year.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Edison Diaz, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Caticlan chief, said tourists should expect long lines at the port because of the tightened security measures.
Tourists are now obliged to sign a manifesto before the boat leaves to and from Boracay. The strict implementation creates a bottle neck of tourists falling in line in boarding the motor boat.
Tourists are also strictly required to wear lifejackets during the trip.
“We are requiring tourists to follow our strict implementation for proper accountability of each passengers going to and from Boracay. I am implementing these tightened security measures as long as I am the head of PCG-Caticlan,” he said./
