Fishermen vs reclamation threaten suit
Excerpt
Fisherfolk groups on Monday threatened to file criminal and administrative charges against Environment Secretary Ramon Paje if he continued to ignore their demands to stop land reclamation projects in Manila Bay and other areas. The groups led by the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) have likewise opposed the confirmation of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) chief in the Commission on Appointments. Pamalakaya and other fisherfolk organizations accused Paje of ignoring their complaints against reclamation projects in Manila Bay and other areas covered by the national reclamation plan of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA).
