FB page vs ‘abusive drivers’ mulled in Boracay

A Facebook (FB) page was mulled to be set up as part of a local campaign against “abusive tricycle drivers” in this island resort.

Malay, Aklan councilor Maylynn Graf said on Thursday that the FB page will encourage the locals and tourists to file formal complaints against these abusive tricycle drivers.

Graf, who chairs the Sangguniang Bayan committee on environment, said she thought of setting up the FB page after she received several complaints against these abusive drivers, especially during the recent holiday season.

The FB page will allow netizens to report the drivers through posting online. The posts will then be referred to local enforcement agencies, like the police, Graf said.

“All they (complainants) have to do is take note or take a photo of the driver’s body number that can be seen on their uniform or the vehicle’s plate number,” said Graf.

She added, “To put an end to the abuses of these erring drivers, we must all cooperate. I am in the process of creating such page.”/
