Presidential candidate Leody de Guzman on Monday said he will stop the construction of Kaliwa Dam if he wins the May 9 polls, indicating that such a project is costly and will affect numerous people residing in the area.
“Naku, ‘wag nila akong pananalunin. ‘Pag ako’y nanalo, tigil ‘yung proyektong ‘yan dahil wawasakin niyan ‘yung ating lugar diyan at banta ‘yan doon sa kaligtasan ng ating mga mamamayan. Maraming mae-evacuate, maraming madi-displace na mga mamamayan natin, maraming lulubog na lugar at mga barangay,” De Guzman said.
The FPIC protects the right of IPs to self-determination and to freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development.“Tapos napakamahal. May korapsyon akong naaamoy diyan sa proyektong ‘yan dahil may mga nago-offer naman na mas mura, nagtataka ako bakit pinipilit na mahal ang kunin?” he added.
About 85% of the project will be funded through a Chinese loan, while the remaining 15% will be financed by the MWSS.
