9 Boracay businesses charged with forestry, water violations
Excerpt
The government has charged nine Boracay establishments with illegally occupying protected forest land on the island, the Environment department said. The violations involve rules laid down under the revised Forestry Code and the Philippine Water Code, Secretary Roy A. Cimatu said at a virtual briefing late Wednesday. “Appropriate cases have already been filed against them. This proves that the rule of law is paramount and law enforcement is crucial and negotiable,” he said in a statement issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
