CLARK FREEPORT — Representative Carmelo Lazatin (1st district, Pampanga) is set to file a resolution seeking a probe into the $400-million Donggwang Clark Corporation\u2019s golf course project situated at a 304-hectare area inside the Freeport.
\nLazatin said the investigation will determine if the developer is violating environmental laws or not.
\nCheck our new look and tell us what you think.
\n\u201cWhile a robust economy is a goal and dream of every province through projects like this, its negative effects on the environment should not be put in the backburner, especially when millions of lives are at risk,\u201d Lazatin said.
\nThe lawmaker said the inquiry will center on why the project was approved despite alleged violations of environmental laws and other government policies.
\n\u201cWe want to know why it was approved and who approved it despite alleged violations of environmental laws which now threaten the watershed area and the water supply in the Metro Clark area,\u201d Lazatin said.
\nLazatin also wants to confirm whether the ongoing project breaches boundaries of two ancestral domains in Bamban, Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga, resulting in the displacement of tribal families from the land of their ancestors.
\nThe lawmaker filed the resolution after receiving complaints from several cause-oriented groups, including Subli and Alliance for the Development of Central Luzon that the project is being built in a watershed area, which is a clear violation of environmental laws.
\n\u201cThe groups also expressed concern about its negative effects on the environment, especially now that hundreds of trees have been cut down and mountains have been leveled off to make way for the project,\u201d Lazatin said in his resolution.
\nIn their complaint, Lazatin said the groups also claimed that water supply in the Metro Clark area, including Angeles City and the municipalities of Mabalacat and Magalang are now being threatened because of the destruction of the watershed area.
\nLazatin also said the project runs contrary to the Central Luzon Medium Regional Development Plan of 2011-2016, where it is stated that development will observe soil and water conservation of critical watersheds, biodiversity and forest production activities.
\nThe project also counters a study conducted by Louis Berger International Inc. in 1997 of the Clark Special Economic Subzone Master Development Plan, where it is started that \u201cone of the problems in the subzone watersheds is impaired watershed hydrology resulting in erratic water supply, water shortage and floods.\u201d
\nThe study also recommended the protection of watersheds, including second-growth forests, in the interest of watershed management and the conservation water quality for potential future water supply.
