Group hits new lake plan


(reposting from Tempo news)
MANILA, Philippines (Tempo) – The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) and the Save Laguna Lake Movement (SLLM) has assailed the government plan to implement the P300-billion, 10-year Laguna Lake Master Plan (LLMP), which is worse than the scrapped P18.7-billion Laguna Lake Dredging Project (LLRP).
Pamalakaya national chairman Fernando Hicap and SLLM convenor Pedro Gonzalez also twitted Malacañang for trying to lure the Belgian government into financing components of the LLMP after banging away at the LLRP, which was proposed by Baggerwerken Decloedt en Zoon (BDC) and approved in February 2010 and thrice upheld as valid, legal, and binding by the Department of Justice (DoJ).
BDC spent P400 million to conduct studies at the Laguna de Bay for four years and worked to secure Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the Belgian government only for President Benigno S. Aquino III to slam the project twice in major policy speeches.

  1. Hello po mukhang maganda po itong project na ito ah at makakatulong talaga lalo na sa mga nakatira malapit sa laguna lake. Yet your post seems posted a year ago, any updates please? Thank you.
