Cebu seeks SC order to clear 18k structures, revive rivers
Excerpt
In a bid to revive and restore its seven major rivers that were already declared “dead,” the Cebu City Government will file a petition for the issuance of a writ of kalikasan before the Supreme Court (SC). Lawyer Gerardo Carillo, chairman of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, told SunStar Cebu Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022, that the City Government has decided to file the “intergeneration suit” to hasten the clearing of some 18,000 illegal structures built within the three-meter easement of waterways.
