Residents ask Duterte to halt Consolacion reclamation project
Excerpt
At least 120 residents signed a manifesto of appeal asking President Rodrigo Duterte to stop the Seafront City project in Barangay Tayud in Consolacion, Cebu, saying it will not only affect their livelihood but also their homes. They are seeking the stoppage of the town’s 235.8-hectare reclamation project because their livelihood depends on the shipyard operations. On week, at least 2,000 workers of the six affected shipyards sent a petition to President Duterte, expressing opposition against the project as they too were not consulted about the proposed reclamation. Last Sept. 13, members of Shipyard Association of Consolacion Cebu (SACC) staged a protest against the project, saying it is opposing the proposed reclamation “because the local government of Consolacion has not given any feasible plans to protect the various shipyards and affected locals in the area.”
