Excerpt
After years of battling against a “destructive development project,” a civic movement in Coron, Palawan, scored a win when the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) ordered the forfeiture in favor of the national government of an unfinished reclamation project in the town. Lawyer Mark Arthur Catabona, acting board secretary of the PRA, in Resolution No. 5541-2022 issued on June 16, ordered the forfeiture of about 22 hectares of reclaimed land in Coron, citing the unauthorized reclamation undertaken by the Palawan provincial government and its joint venture partners. The decision came after the PRA found out that the project continued without area clearance from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), as directed by President Duterte on March 22, after a meeting with Sagip Coron Palawan (SCP) conveners.
