Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez criticized the alleged blatant violations of land use and environmental management laws in the municipalities of Palompon and Albuera, raising concerns about extensive pollution of the water, soil, and air in those areas.
“The degradation of our environment and the services it provides is equivalent to robbing our citizens of clean water, soil, air, protection from flooding, forest resources, and climate change mitigation,” he added.
A recent assessment by the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Santo Tomas’ College of Science revealed that the plant’s waste had polluted the waters of Ormoc Bay. The plant’s solid wastes include dead chickens, chicken innards, and other parts and materials. In addition to the violations, Gomez informed his colleagues about cases of illegal reclassification of forest lands and watershed areas, along with their buffer zones, through misleading maps in Palompon’s Comprehensive Land Use Plans .
