Caticlan Jetty
Port Administrator Nieven Maquirang believes that the controversial reclamation
project of the province will be able to progress this 2013.
This is because at
the moment, only a few documents are needed to be submitted by the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources or DENR to the Supreme Court, which holds
the case, to prove that the project will bring no harm to the environment.
He is also
confident that the Supreme Court will lift the Temporary Environmental
Protection Order or TEPO that was released against the Provincial Government
who is the proponent of the reclamation.
The TEPO was requested
by the Boracay Foundation Incorporated (BFI) during which they filed a case
against the project.
As a result the
embankment and or the filling up of the 2.6 hectare target area were put to a
stop.
However on the
third quarter of 2012, the BFI converted and expressed their support to the
project.
And another plus
factor was the endorsement by the Municipal Council of Malay and the Caticlan
Baranggay Council.
