The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan passed a resolution commending a tricycle driver in Boracay Island. Richard Mariano was commended for his courageous efforts which led to the immediate arrest of four suspects in a snatching incident in Boracay which victimized a high ranking embassy official of Poland and his family who were on vacation in the Boracay Island.
The said resolution is authored by provincial board members Jose S. Yap and Gerick M. Templonuevo. It lauded tricycle driver Richard Mariano for his "selflessness, courage, bravery and love of his native place and proud of his being Boracaynon. He risked his own personal safety and life if only to contribute to a peaceful and orderly Boracay,"
In an interview, Yap disclosed that it was Mariano who chased and caused the immediate arrest of the four Maranao minors who were earlier tagged as suspects in the snatching of Polish Ambassador Bogdan Goralczyk's luggage within the vicinity of Seawind Beach Resort on a Sunday night.
"The snatching incident happened at Seawind Resort at Barangay Balabag at about 8:45 in the afternoon where the four suspects divested Polish Ambassador to Thailand of his luggage containing undetermined amount of cash, valuables and various kinds of documents. The victim was with his wife and daughter when the incident occurred," Yap said.
He added that while the Ambassador's daughter was giving chase to the suspects who had just snatched her father's luggage, Mariano, who was parking his tricycle at a distance, noticed the commotion and saw the suspects running and passing the snatched luggage from one another.
"Upon learning that the commotion was a result of a snatching incident, Mariano then alerted the village tanods in the vicinity and without any hesitation geared his tricycle into motion with the intent of chasing and catching up with the snatchers," Yap added.
Maintaining his poise, composure and presence of mind, Mariano caught up with the suspects, and using his own intuition in preventing crime to be consummated, he was able to convince the suspects to board his tricycle in the guise of ferrying them to safety.
With two of the suspects on board his tricycle, Mariano hauled them to the village tanods which caused the subsequent arrests of two more suspects and resulted to the recovery of the loot which was promptly returned by the Boracay police to the Polish Ambassador. /MPmailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
