The Malay Municipal Police Station has assured the public that Boracay Island remains safe and secure despite a recent assault incident involving the nephew and child of Senator Jinggoy Estrada.
According to P/Lt. Col. Mar Joseph Ravelo, Malay police chief, officers swiftly responded to the altercation and immediately arrested three suspects based on eyewitness accounts. The suspects now face charges of physical injuries.
Police emphasized that the incident was isolated and does not reflect the general peace and order situation on the island.
“This does not represent the overall safety environment of Boracay. The island remains a secure destination for both tourists and residents,” Ravelo said.
He also reiterated that the safety and security of all visitors remain the top priority of the Malay police.
The swift police action and assurance come as Boracay continues to welcome thousands of local and foreign tourists daily, with authorities maintaining high visibility and quick response protocols to preserve order on the island.
