PNP are doing this as a compliance in the municipal ordinance that restrains the art work to be used as background in photography and with charges.

KAMI learned that according to Eagle News, under the ordinance that was passed on 2007, making a sand castle is allowed only on special events or promotional activities if there is a mayor’s permit and was able to pay regulatory fees.

Senior Insp. Mark Anthony Gesulga, chief of the Boracay tourist assistance center said in a statement that they are continuing the inspections if the sand castles have permits.
