Aklan gov, 16 others face graft, admin raps over Boracay neglect
Excerpt
Graft and administrative charges were filed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday before the Office of the Ombudsman against Aklan Governor Florencio Miraflores, Malay Mayor Ciceron Cawaling, and 15 other municipal officials for neglect of duty that turned the world-famous island vacation into what President Duterte described as a “cesspool.” Similarly charged were provincial official Penro Valentin Talabero, Vice Mayor Abram L. Sualog, Sangguniang Bayan Members Natalie Cawaling-Paderes, Jupiter Aelred Gallenero, Frolibar Bautista, Lloyd Maming, Dalidig Sumndad, Maylynn Aguirre-Graf, Danilo Delos Santos, and Dante Pagsuguiron; Licensing Officer III Jen Salsona, Menro Edgardo Sancho, and Punong Barangays Hector Casidsid of Barangay Yapak, ChonaGabay of Barangay Manoc-Manoc, and Lilibeth Sacapano of Barangay Balabag. The said local officials reportedly failed to manage the cleanliness of Boracay sland and issued business permits to Boracay establishments even if many have not complied with the requisite Fire Safety and Business Code.
