Lift ban on Boracay fireworks display


BY BOY RYAN B. ZABAL

The local legislative council of Malay, Aklan has asked the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force (BIATF) allowing the revellers to celebrate New Year’s Eve with fireworks display in Boracay Island and mainland Malay.

Sangguniang Bayan member Daligdig Sumndad said “in the past few years, Boracay Island and mainland Malay welcomed the New Year with spectacular midnight fireworks show. New Year in Boracay isn’t complete without the dazzling display of fireworks.”

The task force has set guidelines during the Boracay re-opening starting October 26 including the banning of fireworks display after 9 p.m. to protect the flying foxes in the island.

But, the non-stop pyrotechnics, in every lights and colour, are a perfect way to welcome the coming year in Boracay. Revellers packed the establishments for countdown parties, streets and the beaches, and watched the fireworks lit up the Boracay sky in key vantage points of Boracay and mainland Malay.

Among the beaches, the White Beach is the most popular places to watch fireworks in Boracay.

Sumndad also appealed the discharge of fireworks will be limited between 11:30 p.m. of December 31 to 12:30 a.m. of January 1.  These fireworks are set up about 100 to 150 meters away from the shoreline.

“Mula pa noon, pumupunta tayo sa beach front at nanonood ng fireworks display. Isa itong attraction ng Boracay sa mga turista,” he added.

SB member Jupiter Aelred Gallenero also supported the appeal of Sumndad for the Boracay task force. #
