Senator Nancy Binay on Friday said it is not right that “nobody should be held accountable” for the establishment of a swimming pool and other structures in the famous Chocolate Hills in Bohol.
The senator bewailed that government agencies involved in allowing the construction of a facility on a declared ‘Protected Area’ have been pointing fingers at each other instead of owning up. This is despite several memorandums on the non-compliance, notices of violations, closure orders, and cancellation of business permits imposed on Captain’s Peak Resort that have been reported.Based on documents obtained by her office, she pointed out that the resort started its application in 2015.
Apparently, Binay said the local government admitted it was only this last March 13 that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources advised the resort to ‘voluntarily undergo a temporary closure.’
