Excerpt
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) yesterday ordered mayors of 178 towns and cities in the Manila Bay watershed area to revoke the business permits of establishments violating environmental laws. DILG Secretary Eduardo Año directed all mayors in the National Capital Region (NCR), Central Luzon and Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) to ensure that all establishments in their areas comply with provisions of the National Building Code, the Fire Code, the Code of Sanitation and other related laws. To ensure the implementation of these laws, Año also instructed DILG regional directors of NCR, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon to report to him through local government units (LGUs) any local chief executives who fail to abide by his directive.
