ILOILO CITY – An Australian man and a British woman have been hauled to court after they were caught having sex at the back beach of the world-famous Boracay Island in Malay, Aklan.
Criminal cases of grave public scandal, disobedience, and resisting person in authority have been filed against 26-year-olds Anthony Carrio and Jasmine Nelly.
Police Corporal Joel Banga-ora said the Boracay police station responded to a report that two foreigners were engaged in sexual activity at Bulabog Beach around 5:45 p.m. last Thursday.
Banga-ora said that they did not stop when the police arrived and they had to be handcuffed and taken to the police station.
The police investigator surmised the duo was so drunk since they did not physically stop touching each other even when they were being transported.
Authorities are not sure whether or not the duo is a couple or they just met in Boracay.
Authorities have been reminding foreign tourists to respect Filipino traditions and norms and conduct themselves in a manner deemed appropriate in Boracay.
