The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said outgoing local executives who have failed to implement environmental laws are not yet off the hook.
Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda said DENR has issued cease-and-desist orders to 10 hotels and restaurants found polluting Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan.
The response of local government to temporarily suspend the mayor’s permit of erring establishments in their respective political jurisdiction once the DENR has submitted its lists of violators is crucial to prevent further contamination of waterways, he added. DENR-Region 4B has issued CDOs to El Nido Sea Shell Resorts and Hotel in Brgy. Buena Suerte; Doublegem Beach Resort and Hotel, Buko Beach Resort, Panorama Resort , Four Seasons Seaview Hotel, and Stunning Republic Beach Resort, in Brgy. Corong-corong; and Sava Beach Bar/Sava Nest Egg Inc., El Nido Beach Hotel, and The Nest El Nido Resorts and Spa, Inc. in Brgy. Masagana for violation of the Clean Water Act.
Antiporda clarified, however, that the enforcement of the Clean Water Act applies not only on the establishments in Palawan but in all parts of the country.
