The proposed demolition of fish nets and fish pens in Sitio Tubigan, Barangay Banilad in Mandaue City, Cebu was recommended by former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) secretary and now Cebu City environment consultant Roy Cimatu. Residents of a village located near the fish pens bared this, as they called for solutions to solve the perennial flooding problem in the area that has already affected the safety of their families.
