In the last month, several media releases issued by Boracay sea transport association, CBTMPC, have accused Montenegro Lines, which operates two fast crafts between the jetty ports of Caticlan and Cagban, of unfair practices and draining the members of the transport associations of their income.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-Boracay, PCCI-Boracay, takes a contrary view. We at PCCI-Boracay support all efforts to upgrade land and sea transport toward world-class standards. We believe that CBTMPC should also take these new developments as a positive challenge to upgrade the facilities and services of its members.
Indeed, there is an urgent need for a modern, fast, safe, efficient, affordable, and weather-proof transport system for Boracay Island. In this regard, PCCI-Boracay is encouraging all existing transport system providers to upgrade all their services and facilities. This upgrading is essential to cater to the increasing volume of commuters and visitors in and around Boracay Island. We echo the concern repeatedly voiced by our public officials – our Mayor (Ciceron Cawaling), Governor (Carlito S. Marquez), Congressman (Florencio T. Miraflores), and DOJ Secretary – for efficient transport system that meets the expectations and standards of visitors that come from within our country and from all over the world.
Upgrading the transport system to word-class standard will boost tourism volume, along with the concomitant growth in business, improvement of income, and general progress in the region.

Better transport systems spell progress for Boracay Island.
