DENR cancels ECC of reclamation project in Coron
Excerpt
There is now very little chance that the halted 51-hectare reclamation project in the tourist town of Coron in Palawan province can still resume after the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) canceled the environmental compliance certificate (ECC) of the controversial project. Joe Amil Salino, regional director of the DENR-EMB in Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), directed the provincial government of Palawan, the proponent of the Coron Bay Development Project (CBDP), to immediately suspend all of its reclamation activities in the town.
