BORACAY – At least 10 more security cameras may be installed in various areas in the island.
The local government of Malay considers buying more closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to bolster security here, according to Rowen Aguirre, executive assistant for Boracay affairs.
If the allocation for more CCTV cameras cannot be included in a supplemental budget this year, it will be placed under the 2018 budget, Aguirre said.
Malay bought 18 security cameras, 17 of which were installed in various locations in the island while only one was placed in the mainland.
The security cameras were part of the two-phase project of the local government with a total budget of P6 million.
Sangguniang Bayan (SB) members were urging the local government to add more CCTV cameras if necessary.
All areas of convergence should have security cameras, said Vice Mayor Abram Sualog, SB presiding officer.
CCTVs can help prevent as well as solve crimes, Sualog said.
Meanwhile Aguirre said the local government of Malay is focused on the activation of an operation center to be based in the island resort for the coordination of security and emergency teams.
The center would include CCTV monitoring, a communication unit, and other emergency and security operations, he said. (With PNA/PN)
