A female tourist from Taiwan was fined for wearing a G-string bikini that made her look almost naked on Boracay Island.
The Malay auxiliary police said that they have issued a citation ticket to the Taiwanese tourist. She was penalized because of her skimpy swimsuits on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10.
The tourist’s photos made rounds on social media.
The Boracay police have investigated the hotel management of the female tourist and her boyfriend.
“Mayroong ordinance ang municipality of Malay du’n sa mga nagsa-sunbathing na nakahubad at topless. And also, ‘yung talagang walang saplot, talagang ina-apprehend ‘yun,” the police said.
The woman could not speak in English so she let her boyfriend speak on her behalf.
“Isa daw yun sa way nila in order for them to express themselves how confident she is na may ganyang katawan siya, and for them, it’s okay with them kasi sa lugar nila, medyo liberated,” the police said.
Authorities reminded hotels and resorts in Boracay to observe decency and island regulations.
“This will be the eye-opener. They must be briefed, and they must inform their guests upon check-in that they have to follow the proper decorum and the rules and regulations inside the island,” the PNP said. (TN)
