Mayor ready to demolish if resort owners will not
Panglao Mayor Benedicto Alcala is now ready to demolish,by the end of May, structures within the 20-meter salvage zone of the Alona Beach if the resort owners will not voluntarily do so.
The Panglao mayor has already sent the notices sent by registered mail with return card to the 12 resorts owners on the Alona Beach. He has negotiated, cajoled, requested, reminded and directed these owners to demolish these structures but to no avail.
This issue cropped up during the meeting after resort owners aired the complaints of some guests that the trek to the beach through the public access is so cumbersome and circuitous.
Beachfront owners used to provide access through their property but cut this short after passersby abused the privilege – stepping out of the path and onto the grass, loitering around guests’ rooms to the latter’s surprise and fear in some cases, and dropping litter.
Other resorts also have guards, but they do not deny entry but merely remind passersby to stay within the easement zone and not too close to the property.
