Alona Beach is a 1.1 km beach stretch and is composed of 100 plus resorts and shops. Letting passenger vehicles to go down the beach will not ease the congestion.... One way of avoiding this is to control the traffic going down to the beach front. Vehicles should only be parked on the main road, meaning, the barangay should look up for a space to accommodate these transports.
Years back, I worked on proposed project which seeked the muscles of the barangay officals when a private resort owner offered her space for a parking area. They were supposed to make follow ups but due to their political inclinations, they didnt do anything until their term ended. Hoping that the same problem will be solved by the incumbent barangay leader as he was on the road, and he is everyday, nothing happened also.
It's not just the traffic condition but also the garbages that were left on the roadside, and were not picked up by the garbage collector on the daily basis.
Boracay is a small island compared to Panglao. But I admire it's Traffic management, garbage collection scheme, waste water treatment facility and the volunteerism of the locals in keeping their place safe and clean.
I cant wait to happen the same thing in Panglao.
Since there will be a new leadership that will take office this coming July 1,
I hope, We hope that things will get better and all these problems will be addressed.
