Chief Supt. Cipriano Querol Jr. has ordered a thorough security check on tourists entering Boracay Island.
According to the director of the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6), he received intelligence reports that drug traffickers will be making Boracay as transshipment point of illegal drugs.
The security checks may include frisking of tourists and thorough inspection of their baggage.
There are currently 70 policemen stationed in Boracay, said Querol.
"We have to protect our tourist spot," he stressed.
Querol directed the Aklan Police Provincial Office to augment the Boracay police force.
Intelligence reports reaching Querol mentioned cocaine, ecstacy and shabu as the most likely illegal drugs that drug traffickers may bring to Boracay.
It is not remote that illegal drugs enter in Boracay because the targets by the drug pushers are foreigners. We need to be watchful," said Querol.
He ordered Aklan Police Director Supt. Samuel Nacion to monitor known drugs pushers in the province and the island. (BY RUBY P. SILUBRICO /MP
