‘What we can confirm at this point is that we have acted on the verbal declaration of the President,’ says DENR Secretary Toni Yulo-Loyzaga
a press briefing to clarify that all reclamation projects have been suspended, and that no project is exempted – contrary to what the President said.
Asked about the Philippine Reclamation Authority’s lack of communication with the Office of the President regarding the suspension, Loyzaga waved the paper in front of her. “I have a copy of the suspension so I think that the PRA will also have a copy.”The DENR and the PRA are also providing conflicting figures on the total number of reclamation projects.
In a CNN Philippines interview, PRA Assistant General Manager Joseph John Literal said there are only 13 reclamation projects in Manila Bay. The DENR, on the other hand, maintained that there are 22 projects, 15 in the National Capital Region and 7 in Calabarzon. Reporters have been asking for a copy of the suspension order and a comprehensive list of suspended projects, but the DENR has yet to provide one. In the document obtained by Rappler from the PRA, there are 22 reclamation projects, but in another document obtained by another reporter, there are only 18.
What’s clear for now is that there’s an ongoing cumulative impact assessment and that the environment secretary is of the belief that reclamation and rehabilitation are contradictory. –
