ATTY. JEN RAMOS – LEGAL Sea level rise galing sa climate change. ADB conducted a DR. ED ALABASTRO POLICY DIRECTOR OCEANA study stating most cities are vulnerable to sea level rise and storm surges, na-consider po ba ito? Base sa aming pag aaral hindi ito magdudulot ng climate change. No greenhouse effects, walang icocontribute itong project na ito. Ang climate change ay dahil sa activities ng mga tao. Ang main contributors are China and USA. The
project will not emit significant greenhouse gases.
With or without project, magkakaroon ng sea level rise. Ang projection ng IPCC ay dahil sa ibang bansa ang sanhi ng climate change. 0.3 or 0.4m sea level rise ang projection po, with or without the project.
LAND Sa storm surge, pinakita namin sa oceanography section ng EIS na ang project ay nagpoprovide ng sheltering effect, o pag sangga ng reclamation islands sa puwersa ng ocean waves galling sa storm surge. Through reclamation this will serve as defense mechanism. Example Tacloban coastal defense.

Area Clearance will be given after the ECC, just to Sinabi po ninyo na the reclamation is not an ECA because clarify. it is 8.5km away from LPPCHEA. I’d like to disagree. As of June 22, LPPCHEA is no longer just a critical habitat but ENGR. ARIDA already a protected area. The LPPCHEA has a mangrove area. The flow of the water will affect the mangroves. Yan May bagong guidelines tungkol sa area clearance at ECC to ang kanilang nursery that is why we from Las Pinas clarify. Paranaque ay pinoprotektahan namin ang area na yan. If we will do the reclamation we have to undergo a process. PRA: Wala pong memo regarding pinagbabawal yung Reclamation is an Environmental Critical Activity. Ang pagkumuha ng ano from SNS, wala lang palang siyang ECC area ng proyekto ay nasa loob ng buffer zone ng kaya hindi pa pwede gawin. PRA is currently applying for the protected area. ECC, it is not the project proponent’s responsibility to get the ECC for the area where they will get their filling materials. The Area Clearance should first be applied for before the Additionally po, nakapag bigay na din po kami ng advise na ECC? Iyan po ang nasasaad sa order na nanggaling sa mag consider ng other sources of filling materials dahil nga po DENR-EMB na kung saan ay nabigyan kami ng kopya. hindi pa siya nabibigyan ng ECC.

The attached plotting is not binding to other laws and the delination procedure of plotting of NAMRIA is not in accordance to other guidelines. There is no certified technical description that were delineated and plotted. NAMRIA only follows what is in the guidelines. Ang pag- plot ng municipal waters ay mayroon pong sinusunod kaya po ang pagdrawing ng NAMRIA ay based sa guidelines at maiwasan ang overlap.

Gaya ng sabi ng mga mangingisda, pwedeng magmura ang isda at ma-save ang historical na Manila Bay. Tingin po naming, kapag natuloy ito, ang view sa Manila Bay ay mapaprivatize. Kailangan pang pumunta sa dulo ng reclamation. Kaya kami po ay tumutulong sa layunin na irehabilitate ang Manila Bay, particularly LLPCHEA para mapakita na kaya ito ibalik. Kaya pa linisin ang Manila Bay at ibalik ang ganda ng Manila Bay. Lumalabas sa usapin na negosyo kesa protekta. Kung sa Pasay walang mangroves, puwede tayo magtanim ng iba’t-ibang klase ng mangroves.

Public Hearing Officer: Thank you sir.
Representative from PRA: (inaudible) regarding PRA and reclamation, so regarding po dun sa (inaudible) na sinasabe nila, regarding po dun sa sinabe ni Doctor Ed, na it is not something that is planned or approached (inaudible) the reclamation, (inaudible) that PRA wants to understand exactly is the concerned of everyone in here. So we conduct a study that we would like to (inaudible) para po sa reclamation, maging mas integrated yung consideration natin, so siguro .. (inaudible).. that were able to study the both side of the reclamation and then (inaudible) planet (inaudible) para maging maganda yung mga consideration natin sa lahat ng mga .. (inaudible).. for the planet, for the system, for ecology, for everything (inaudible) reclamation project, mas magiging integrated po, kaya po gusto po ng PRA magtayo ng ganyang study and na-mention ko po before na all of these we consider including na din po sa climate change na (inaudible) natin (inaudible)we facilitated by the DENR (inaudible) included in the PRA projects. if the project is gonna be contributing or how can it be.
Representative from PRA: So, gusto ko lang din po kayong informed na ang PRA is actually looking to include coastal protection or coastal defense strategies into the plans of reclamation projects para po sa consideration ng climate change natin and also other agencies are also consulted within the EIA process so including na din po dito yung PHILVOCS na sila din ay nakakapag raised ng mga ibang concerns like sa hazards and the modeling of the preparer kung pano nila dapat I consider lahat ito like the level of the xxx air in the project area. Yung mga ganung bagay po dapat I consider lahat. And then regarding Tacloban po, sorry una muna po siguro yung sa San Nicholas Shoal po, regarding sa study
106 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT that had been conducted wala pa po syang ECC pero EMB is required xxx mas assured din po if ever the SNS will be granted an ECC and will be used for Reclamation Projects DENR will also insured na wala nga pong maaapektuhan na marine ecology or marine life. And then for the Tacloban Project po, the current Project being undertaken by the PRA Tacloban is actually mangrove xxx reforestation. It is a soft measure but it is true but we are proposing xxx the plan is actually for soft and hard like xxx earlier and it is also true that what Dr. Alabastro said earlier that part of the proposal is reclamation. So yung hard part of it is definitely for soft and hard part of it is actually possible for reclamation and then the shoreline is like putting up a protection xxx saw earlier sa presentation nila is xxx area para gumawa ng hard structure for the prevention. But currently, hindi pa po sya under xxx. Yun lang po, very xxxx on the xxx. Thank you.
Atty. Corpus: I’m Atty. Corpus from the Office of Senator Cynthia Villar. Xxx of this Public Hearing from the DENR and the Senate Secretary xxx to attend this Public Hearing. Ang number one xxx na nakita ko sa presentation ni Mr. Alabastro na yung sinasabi nya na yung source ng filling materials for the reclamation ay yung SNS. Just a month ago or more than month ago we received a formal communication from the DENR-EMB Director Torbella that any extraction from the SNS is prohibited ibis sabihin po pinagbawal na po ang extraction ng filling materials sa SNS. Xxx Mr. Alabastro does not change the presentation it is the same time presentation that makes in other Public Hearings that he conducts. Siguro kailangan naman na maghanap sila ng other baka this time naman bundok na tatapyasin para pang reclaim. So sa ngayon ho, wala hong source ng reclamation filling materials. Yun ho yung una. Pangalawa ho, which xxx also brought up by the lawyer from oceana, yung tungkol ho sa effect ng yung tungkol ho sa xxx ng Mandamus tama po Pañera? Ang alam ko ho sabi sa continuing Mandamus ng Manila Bay which is issued on December xxx. We should remove all obstruction that could xxx the flow of water so I believe that reclamation since technically talagang tatambakan ang tubig xxx it’s an obstruction anyway itself. Kung tama ang xxx na nga xxx sila sa xxx yung mga samahan natin ng mga mangingisda. Kase talaga naman po na kapag tinakpan nyo po ang dagat, e ang una hong tatamaan dyan ay yung mga isda ho. Kawawa naman yung mga isda hindi kyang umattend ng Public Hearing. Xxx yung mg isda, even the smallest particles, lahat ho yan ang Manila Bay ho is one big ecosystem xxx operation that you would do in Manila Bay xxx effect on xxx Manila Bay and even sa atin ho na mga nakatira dito sa kalupaan. Kahit na taga Pasay ka, Las Piñas, Manila lahat po ng cities. Xxx cities and one municipality, and even the provinces of Bataan, Cavite, Bulacan, lahat ho tayo na dikit sa Manila Bay. Any alteration of the ecosystem in Manila Bay may affect po iyan lahat sa atin. Alalahanin nyo po na ang Manila Bay ay natural drain ng lahat ng tubig na galling sa Metro Manila at sa mga probinsya na nabanggit ko. Diba kapag tayo binabagyo, tayo ang binbaha, lahat ho yon ay par sa Manila Bay. Lahat ho yon ang bagsak non sa Manila Bay, so even if you live in Quezon City any alteration in Manila Bay your affected. Pangalawa ho, yung sinbi ho ni Dr. Alabastro that the reclamation is not an Environmental Area because sabi nya is 8.5 km from the LPPCHEA. Ang LPPCHEA ho ay yung Las Piñas Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area which is located in Parañaque and Las Piñas and I xxx to disagree kasi pasay is just beside from Parañaque and ang LPPCHEA ho ay hindi na sya Critical Area as of June 22 Protected Area na po sya. So the area that is being considered here is part of the buffer zone of the LPPCHEA. Pangalawa ho, kasi ho ang LPPCHEA ay meron hong mga mangroves plantation dyan so na coconcern ho kaming mga environmentalist na yung flow ho ng tubig ay makakaapekto sa buhay ng mga mangroves. Bakit ho napaka importante ng mangroves? E iyan lng naman ho yung tinutuluyan ng mga maliliit na isda, yan po yung kanilang nursery bgo sila pumalaot sa malaking dagat. So tlaga ho kami sa Las Piñas Parañaque poprotekhan ho naming yung area na yan. Even the prompted Senator Villar xxx Writ of Kalikasan, gainst PRA and DENR, against the Proponent of the Reclamation in Las Piñas. Which as of this day xx kinasel na ho ng DENR yung ECC doon xx. So if they want to do reclamation they have to go through all the process so yun ho yung mg actual na nagawa namin. Balikan ko lang xxx hindi ho environmentally critical area yung Pasay, itong subject property na gusto nilang I reclaim. Hindi ho totoo yan, sa reclamation itself it’s an environmentally critically itself so kasi nga ho inaalter nya yung ecosystem so ano pa ba? Teka lang, may notes ako. Ah ok. Meron xxx nabanggit kanina na ang area clearance is xxx for the post ECC. I gather from the legal of DENR xxx that is not the case are
107 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT clearance should always proceed the issuance of ECC so absence of area clearance I don’t think xxx nag apply na kayo ng ECC. Ok iyon. Tapos that’s about it pero kung meron ho kaming kung meron man po kaming mga additional questions frm the committee on environmental and natural resources on senate that we would like to bring up we would always have an investigation to the inquiry regarding the status of the reclamation in the Philippines. Maraming salamat po.
Atty. Madrona: I’m Atty. Madrona, City Legal Officer of City of Pasay, xxx clarify lang don sa about the continuing Mandamus to the Supreme Court, we read the case carefully the mandamus for the purpose of improving the water quality. We presented a while ago, it is not xxx as mention there will be no xxx reclamation in the xxx itself. We believe that xxx successful xxx will be approved in the Manila Bay area. What xxx will be the Pasig River xxxx the Pasig River for the Manila Bay t for the records Pasay City is a xxx among Metro Manila, LGU with respect to compliance to the continuing Mandamus. Nagawa po naming sa Estero de Gallina xxx were doing for the xxx in compliance with this. So we believe na the xxx pollution that were further improve our project we further improve our compliance that xxx continuing Mandamus. For clarifications, thank you.
Dr. Alabastro: I xxx to respond, medyo madami. Ito ang unang nakita ko, SNS meron bang marine species dyan xxx environmental impact area. SNS is within the political xx of PRA. Sila ay nag apply ng EIS, sila ay hindi pa rin nabibigyan ng ECC or xxx. So kung meron mang gustong kumuha ng fill materials dyan and kakausapin nila PRA. Iba po, kung Pasay o kung sino man ang may responsibility ng Pasay o xxx SNS ay magagamit naman ng PRA xxx kung angkinin naming na kami ang may responsibility dyan. Ngayon yung hindi na pwedeng kumuha, talagang hindi pwede kasi walang ECC, so with or without the memo hindi talaga pwedeng kumuha as of now ng anything materials sa SNS dahil walang ECC. So hindi ko po alam kung meron pang ibang memorandum xxx wala naman po kaming alam. Baka meron na hindi ko po alam.
Atty. Corpus: Sir kase, yung application ho ng ECC pagkuha ng filling materials to be extracted from the SNS is a subject to a separate EIS diba? Ngayon sinaabi ko na nga ho sa inyo na kung sinasama nyo sa presentation nyo nay un ho yung source, sinasabi ko na sa inyo pg na grantan kayo ng ECC dito, e xxx wala hong ECC xxx sa Pasay City, ke sa Manila, ke sa PRA xxx sa DENR ho nag apply. Xxx so siguro I revised nyo yung ano ninyo kailangan nyong kumuha ng ibang source ng filling materials kase and I think that EIA yung taga DENR should EMB to diba should take it to consideration na yung report sinaabi na SNS e hindi na nga pwedeng kumuha ng filling materials doon sa SNS kase pinag babawal na. so what are we talking is para naman ho na wala ng reclamation. Ano hong source ng reclamation nyo? Diba ho ba ang ibig sabihin ng reclamation ay pagtambak, eh ano po yung pagtambak na eh wala kayong source.
Dr. Alabastro: Xxxx, ah sinasabe po namin na that is a separate project ng Xxxx, we were asked kung saaan ang mga options namin, sinabe namin sa Xxxx, yung disposal ng Xxxx, isa pa po, mabalik po ako sa Mandamus, kase mag iinvest ba, sino ba ang investor? Mag iinvest ba dito sa Xxxx, 75 billion pesos para magawa ang dagat, edi sana budgeted ko na, hindi maganda ang project, DAHIL PO SA Xxxx, ay mamamaho ang dagat o masisira ang kalikasan. Kung di nyo po nakikita, na contrary itong project na to sa Mandamus, baka nga magkabaliktad noh, young sinasabeng magandang yung project, Xxxx San Nicholas Shoal, ah medyo siguro may ibang xxx, eto po yung aming sinasabe na conceptual project manual, iniikot pa namin yung iba’t ibang area, sinabe po ng iba, nagpakita samin ng mahabang study. Tapos yung Manila Bay ang sinasabe po natin, ang pinag uusapan po namin why considering the order as Manila Bay is this impact. Kaya po ang ginawa namin, tama naman po yung sa xxx, except ano po bang boundary na yan, hanggang saan ba yung boundary impact na yan. Gumawa po ng circulation xxx, kung hanggang saan pwedeng xxx tong project na to, itong impact na to. Nasa report po naming, even the xxxx, sinabe yung sa circulation xxxx, hindi po nagdudulot ito ng highly significant impact. Isa pa po, napanuod ko po ang iba’t ibang Filipino Scientists, nung February 15, 2016, nagconduct po ang mga xxxx ng Open Xxxx sa mga scientists ng Research xxxx, nandun si Dr. xxxx, Dr. Lagmay, ako po’y nandito din, nandun di si Jun Palafox, ang sinasabe opo naming, ang impact ng
108 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT isang project has to be viewed by impact areas cities , hindi pwedeng sabihin na ipasa ito, it has to be xxx, yung sa xxx ganito eh. Yung sa Bicol, Pinatubo at ibang areas, ang sgot natin ay xxxx, bahagi ng sinasabe na xxxx na climate change. Xxx is this, is the study area, hindi po kasama dyan ang mga xxxx ng Bicol, xxx ng Catanduanes, kase po yung pong issue ng impact na to. Yun pong isa sa bahagi ng aming pagpupulong, hindi po sinabing xxxxx, nagpahayag po kami ng mga xxx. Pati po yung sa mga storm search, xxxx, yun pong na kay Lagmay at sa PRA, yun pong xxx, so that is the xxx in 2016. That is the explain of protection of ng sinabe ko pong maaring tama o maaring mali. Pero tignan nyo po yung Supreme Court, ano ba iniexpect is ano bang impact xxx, pag pinagsama ang halimbawa yung sa, reclamation project, except dun sa issue ng climate change, iba yun. Pero nirerespeto po namin yung xxx, pero tama po yun, yun sa sinasabe ko lang, xxx reclamation project, hindi po yung xxx. Salamat po Sir
Mr. xxxx: Diba po yung sa xxx PRA clearance sa ECC na sinabe pong under the xxx January 30, XXXX of the ECC. However, yung PRA xxx the results of XXXX last 2015, xxxx before issuance of 2014 approved by PRA. So, after xx it, there still note that it should not be presented xxx DAO, Nung xxx 30, inissuance po ang reclamation xxxx ng clearance, for the actual approval of ECC. So, pag na approved na po yung ECC dun pa lang makukuha yung clearance? Kase po ok yung clearance, formerly known as the xx under a DAO or xxxxx. So, base po sa xxx standard xxx, tumutulong sa xx ng clearance for this project. For the xxx, yung provision ng xxx yung issuance ng clearance xxxx. Salamat po.
Dr. Alabastro: (inaudible). Yung sa issuance po ng clearance naming sa ECC. So, siguro this month mag i-issue kami ng xxxx ng DAO. Actually, so mag i-ssue yung sa DAO, yung sa bagong guidelines sa ECC and sa xxx, maybe next month or hopefully this month. Kase medyo yung xxx before, medyo malapit, tsaka yung xxx.
Engr. Lagmay: Withstand by the rule, na dapat area clearance muna, kase yung Area Clearance ang magsasabi na yung area ay possible na magkaron ng reclamation. Yun na muna kase kung hindi, edi hindi n asana magpoprogress yung sa xxx ng EIS. So, that’s the national demanding, it’s with the Presidential Decree, xxxx. So which is enacted 1970’s xxxx, so, I’m not sure of what the exact 1970 act, so yun ho. So, we study by that ng xxxx, yun po muna, because, kung uunahin yung sa ECC, which is applying the code of xxxxxx, area clearance will become a stub line. Yung parang ano lang compliance, but with not any purpose. So yun po yung xx line ng Environmentalist.
Public Hearing Officer: salamat po, so dito na muna tao sa likod.
Public Hearing Officer: yung sa issueance, xxx ano yun, yung sinabe nyo na sa higher management na xxx, magkakaroon kami ng xxx, na hopefully this month na I publish na po sya, except po yung sa xxx
XXXXX: yung issuance ng sa DAO, sabe ko nga kanina, within commercial lang, so, I suggest na xxx, na una talaga yung ECC over everything else. Because people can xxx, kase may mga people can (inaudible)
Dr. Alabastro: (unaudible). Kung ako kase ang tatanungin dito, ang dapat ay ECC muna bago (unaudible) nag apply po kami ng Area Clearance, na ayon sa paniniwala namin ay ECC muna bago Area Clearance. Xxx checklist, eh yung mga xxx sa ECC yun eh, kaya nakakalito na.
Representative of DENR-NCR: (unaudible) una yung sa ECC bago Area Clearance, una po (unaudible) na dapat Area Clearance mun bago sa ECC, in fact nag submit na po xxx sa xx (inaudible). ito yung isa sa mga discussion, kelangan may xxx yung ano (inaudible) kase nga may DAO, so, yun may mga (inaudible ) PRA, AMB (unaudible) pilit mag apply. Area Clearance then ECC (inaudible) so parang pwedeng mag apply ng ECC, (inaudible) ngayon sabe ng isang mayor namin, hindi nap o mag apply ng Area Clearance, para pong ano, (inaudible) parang may contribution yan, (inaudible). at
109 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT sinasabe ni Doc na ano ba dapat mauna (inaudible) sa pangkalahatan na issueance ng clearance. Yung mga (inaudible), pero sa ngayon hindi po kami makakapag issue ng Area Clearance dahil po kami natatanggap (inaudible) ngayon po, xx ng DAO, (inaudible). hindi sya DAO, (inaudible) hindi requirement ang ECC kase isa po yan sa mga implementing rules ng (inaudible). So on showing na, we are on the right track so far, (unaudible). We are xxx the office of Hon. Cynthia Villar, we study also the xxx, iba po yung (inaudible) ito po ang, wala daw pong masasabi ang DAO (inaudible).
Paul Villegas: ako po si Paul Villegas from Save the Bay, kasama ko po yung sa xxx, kami po ay naanyayahan dito ng office of Secretary ni Sen. Cynthia Villar, upang makadalo po at maibahagi an gaming tingin tungkol po dun sa kasalukuyang proyekto po na ito. Dun po sa binabanggit ni Doctor, tungkol dun sa Mandamus, ngayon December po ay mapapso na yung Mandamus na yun. So by 2008 po sya inissue at ngayon pong 2018 ang kanyang pgka repaso. At tama po na yung binbanggit ni Doctor Alabastro na medyo komplikado yung Mandamus na yun at wala pong xxx tungkol po sa usapan ng reclamation. Ngunit sa tingin po naming, bilang isang ordinaryong mamamayan,.…ma cleanup o ang pag utos ng Supreme Court na ma cleanup ay upang irehabilitate ang Manila Bay Ngayon nabanggit din ho kanina na marami na din effort ang mga LGU sa pagki cleanup ibig sabihin ho may basehan na po yung Manila Bay na pwede ho siyang tirahan ng mga isda, kung nasunod po ang original na plano ng Supreme Court. Ngayon edi bakit ho mahalagao bakit kailangan irehabilitate, di, hindi lang ho simple irehabilate ang Manila Bay marami po sying pwede sagutin na usapin. Katulad po ng binabanggit po ng mga mangingisda po na kapag na rehabilitate po natin yung Manila Bay, mumura ang bilihan ng mga isda dahil imbis na mangisda sila sa may bandang Bataan, Cavite, mapapalitan po ang pangingisda nila ditto sa badang Metro Manila. At the same time historical din po ang Manila Bay dahil wala pa pong Pasay, Manila ay nandyan na ho iyan at maganda ho siyang idevelop at buhayin po muli yung ningning ng Manila Bay. Kase po tingin po namin kapag ho natuloy ang mga reclamation project ultimo yung view sunset ng Manila Bay ay ma pa privitize dahil kailangan ko pa pumunta dun sa mga lugar na maganda ang pwesto. Kung baga yung mga ordinaryong tao na yan galing Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas ay hindi na makakakita mula ng ganda ng Manila Bay dahil kailangan pa nila pumunta dun sa dulo ng reclamation. Kung kaya po bilang po kami bilang pagtugon dun sa Mandamus nung naglabas si Supreme Court at kami po bilang mga environmentalist at mga educate sa mga nangangalaga sa kalikasan ay tumutulong na rin sa gobyerno dahil ang gusto po namin ay makasatuparan na irehabilitate ang Manila Bay. Kung kaya po sa loob ng mahabang panahon sa mga nakaraang taon ay patuloy po ang aming paglulunsad dun sa mga cleanup, cleanup operation dun sa Manila Bay pangunahi po duon sa may LPPCHEA sa may Las Pinas-Paranaque ah para sa ganun ay mapakita na at kung sama-sama ang mga mamamayan na ito ay linisin kasama ang LGU ay kaya ito ibalik. At ganun din po yung binabanggit ni Dr. Alabastro na kaya pa ho linisin ang Manila Bay at ibalik yung kanyang ganda nang sa ganun edi mapakinabanggan ng mamayan ang Manila Bay hindi lang sa simpleng ano kase lumalabas na nanaig ang usapin ng negosyo kasya dun sa aaah pangangalaga at pag protekta sa Manila Bay. Kaya yun po huli nalang. Actually, kung dito ho ipapatayo yan talaga ho na walang mangrove pero hindi po ibig sabihin nito ay hindi na tayo pwede magtanim. Pwede ho tayo magtayo ng mga mangroves at kailangan lang po may mag initiate. Yun po ang sinsikap namin, katuwang din po ang DENR NCR na makipagtulungan para makapagtanim ng mga ibat ibang klase ng mangrove bilang pangangalago ho sa… sa Manila Bay. Yun lang po.
People clapping…
Atty: Pe Benito: Aaaah magandang umaga po, Atyy. Pe Benito po. Actually ho I would like to congratulate si Atty. Ang for conducting this Public Hearing and open forum for a very fair manner. So pasalamatan ho natin siya. Aaaah makikisawsaw na di po ako sa (inaudible) na yan. I, I, I definitely feel the opinion of Atty. Corpus of (inaudible) office. You know, bakit naman Area Clearance yung kuwan, you don’t have siguro hindi malinaw yung mga DENR regulation but we can look at PD 6081 and (inaudible) and see kung ano yung yung yung requirements ng batas. And which is really the considerations of environmental impact. Sa dami ho ng kuwan ng mga reclamation project ngayon, hindi ko na ho mabilang ang mga reclamation project ditto sa Manila. Kapag pinagsama sama po yan
110 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT magbabago po ang complexion ng environmental impact. Bakit, bakit hindi Area Clearance muna yung itutok, ok? Yung In line with PD 11 (inaudible) and 1586, I think we should comply with the spirit of the law. Below this is strict governmental responsibility to consider environmental impact. Istriktong responsibilidad po ng government natin to consider all impacts hindi lang ho ang mga maliliit but yung mga malalaki pa po. Pagsamsamahin natin lahat ng reclamation project natin, magbabago po yung complexion, ok? . Now, sa presentation po ni Dr. Alabastro he pointed out that the project contractor is carrying out something like Php 75 billion pesos, Php 72 billion pesos ah before that the people is misled let us just clarify, they are not making a charitable contribution mga kumpanya po yan nakalagay po yung prior objective which is always to make a profit. Let me explain, meron ho tayong isang kaso, Via Mare vs Chavez, ang sabi ho sa kasong nyan is Manila Bay is ownd by the state. Now, na realeased po yang decision na yan but they found a loop hole in the Local Government Code that LGU can reclaim which becomes their property which they can take away. So I will, I will resume that the prohibition of the Local Government Code is valid. Now, ang gusto ko lang malaman ngayon is ano po yung sharing with the private contractor ditto sa project na ito? Ok? I understand that this area in this reclaimed area in Manila Bay is something like Php 150, 000 to Php 200, 000. May makukuha po sila duon. Hindi ho libre yan, hindi po charitable donation yan. Hindi ho ba kayo, ahh. Tingin niyo ho yung mga net worth ninyo in a yearly basis? Tumataas ho ba ng milyon yan? But if (inaudible) palagi ho tumataas yun net worth nila. Ang gusto ko lang po malaman bakit ho ganun yung share, share ng city at share ng LGU, ng private contractor, the moment this project is completed.
(inaudible)
(inaudible)
(inaudible)
Atty. Madrona: Actually dun po sa isyu ng Via Mare case is (inaudible) kaya po we have an MOU with the Philippine Reclamation Authority as to the sharing between the National Government and Local Government . Dineclare po yan at hindi po iyan pagaari ng ng pribado sector, ito po ay pag aari ng gobyerno between the Republic of the Philippines and the Local Government Unit of Pasay City just to clarify with that. Then just to move (inaudible) sa Area Clearance at ECC, iba po kase yung interpretation nung sa Area Clearance, Area Clearance as can define dun sa DAO mismo, government issuance over reclamation projects na inissue po ng DENR nuong 2007. Very clear po dun na ang Area Clearance is a (inaudible) document issued by the DENR Secretary providing the authorization or permit to undertake reclamation projects over the applied area subject to certain provision including environmental mitigation and enhancement measure. So, typically, how can the DENR Area Clearance kung wala ang Environmental Impact Statement o environmental impact analysis sa proposed project. (inaudible). Before yung interpretation ng Area Clearance, the DAO itself defines what an Area Clearance (inaudible) is. Iba’t iba ng interpretation, we followed the DAO interpretation na Area Clearance under the DAO nung 2007-20 as amended by 2009-07. So (inaudible) dun po tayo sa issue kung sino ang mas nauna but again this (inaudible) idea na ma issuehan sila as long as may environmental mitigation na and enhancement issue. (inaudible) we believe that it would be a logical issue tong Area Clearance kung wala kaming Environmental Impact Statement, just to clarify that. Thank you.
NAMRIA: (Inaudible) gusto ko lang po magreact duon sa sinabi ni Mam na City Planning Officer ng Pasay tungkol po dun sa nabanggi po niya na humingi po sila ng assistance sa NAMRIA tungkol dun sa Municipal Water. Ang NAMRIA po kase ang naataasan ng gobyerno na mag delinated ng ating municipal waters nationwide. Tama po ang sinabi ni mam na lumapit po sila sa NAMRIA 2016 November meron p tayong natanggap na sulat mula po sa ating municipal mayor regarding po sa NAMRIA na i-drawing po ang kanilang municipal waters based sa RA 7160 or yung Local Government Code or Republic Act 8550. Sinabi po duon sa sulat, ditto po sa huling paragraph na sulat po ni mayor. Aaaahhh babasahin ko po, we clarify ah eto po, in this regard may we request your good office to determine the technical description of the municipal waters of Pasay City based only in Section 1311 of
111 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT
RA7160 and Section 58 of Republic Act 8560. At sinabi pa po dun na we clarify that since DAO number 2004-01 (inaudible), we are not filing application for delineation of municipal waters under the questionable provisions instead we are requesting your office for an assistance to plot our municipal water delineation based only on RA 8560. Yun po yung request. SUmagot po ang aming administrator, SI Administrator Tianco nung December 9, 2016 at sinasabi po ditto, babasahin ko po. Dear Mayor Calixto, we are writing this response to your letter request dated 11 November 2016 regarding the captioned matter. We acknowledged that the DENR Administrative Order 2001-17 was already revoked by DENR Administrative Order 2003-07 dated 17 March 2008 and that the existing map, land technical description of the municipal waters of the Cities of Manila and Pasay that are expand in the reports of NAMRIA were based on the DAO 2001-17 that was already revoked. We must qualify that our office has no jurisdiction to rule upon the validity or invalidity of DAO 2004-01 issued pursuant to Republic Act 8550. Nevertheless, pursuant to your request to plot and meet the technical description of municipal waters of Pasay City based on the Section 131R of Republic Act 7160 and Section 58 of RA 5550, please find the attached map and technical description of Pasay City municipal waters. We must stress that the attached plotting is not binding on (inaudible) Local Government Unit concern which have the right to assert the interpretation of the law and delineation in plotting the boundaries of municipal waters in the property (inaudible). Please note that this office adheres the delineation procedure under DAO 2004-01 which considers the effect of all plotted points along the coastline and declared overlapping boundaries. We trust that we fully addressed your concern. Thank you very much. So iyun po yung sagot ni Administrator Tiangco, aaah dun po sa (inaudible) na letter na galing po dun sa EMB, na pinagcocomment po yung NAMRIA sumagot din po ang NAMRIA, si Admimistrator Tiangco at babasahin ko din po ng buo yung sulat na pinadala sa EMB nuon pong July 3. Dear Atty. Matias, as requested by your office, NAMRIA submit this official paper on the Proposed Pasay City Harbor Reclamation Project of the City Government of Pasay. NAMRIA is the lone agency in the government authorized to delineate the limit municipal water for coastal occupancies and cities for the whole country in accordance for the authorize, with the authority granted by the Department of Agriculture under Section 123 of Republic Act 8550 and as amended by Republic Act 10854, the plotted municipal waters of NAMRIA were not with accordance with the guidelines issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order # 2001-17 Guidelines for Delineating Municipal Water and Department of Agriculture Administrative Order # 1 Series of 2004. Guidelines for delineating municipal water for municipal or city offshore island, based on NAMRIA’s record there was no certified technical description for the delineation of municipal waters and copy of the document chart were not certified with technical description of the municipal waters of the City of Pasay that were delineated or plotted based on the old guidelines and or existing guidelines. On 11 of November 2016, NAMRIA received a letter from the Honorable Mayor of Pasay City with subject and to quote “we request for plotting of Pasay City Municipal Waters based on RA 7160 and RA 8550 before granting the request (inaudible) NAMRIA that have certificate from Pasay City (inaudible). The process of delineation of municipal waters and how it was being plotted based on the existing guidelines was explained. We were told that the Pasay City representative and the contained in the letter that all (inaudible) NAMRIA was to plot and determine the technical description of the municipal water. The municipal water of Pasay City based on RA 7160 and 8560, so sa proposal ng NAMRIA, we assess that the project has requested binding nabanggit naman po namin kanina and we adhere to the delineation procedure of the DAO which considers the effect of the (inauble) point along coastline. As to the correctness of the existing guideline issue by the Department of Agriculture, it is the showing of (inaudible) that the amended (inaudible) NAMRIA only follows what is on the guidelines. Pagka po kase itaas po natin yung municipal waters, sinukat po natin siya ng 15 kilometers na manggagaling sa coastline, ang mangyayari po kase magkakaroon ng overlap duon po sa mapa. Ang pag plot po kase ng municipal waters meron pong guidelines na sinusunod po para po sa dino-drawing nung sa guideline na inissue ng Department of Agriculture. Kung halimbawa po let us say na yung coastline natin ay palabas, paganito po siya. Ang magiging drawing po ng 15 kilometers ay papunta ditto kung halimbawa po yan po ay Pasay o Paranaque nandito ang Paranaque, nandito ang Pasay magkakaroon po yan ng 15 kilometers ditto, nandito naman ang Manila magkakaroon din ng 15 kilometrs ditto. Kung ang Manila naman po ang

PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT mag do-drawing, mag do-drawing po sila ditto. Kung magkakarron po ng (inaudible) sa gitna kanino po mapupunta iyun? Dito din po sa Pasay at Paranaque mag do drawing sa Pasay mag drawing din po sa Paranaque, magkakaroon po ng triangle dun sa gitna, so meron pong maiiwanan. Kanino po mapupunta iyun? Kung ang coastline naman po natin ay papasok, halimbawa po pakurba, gaya po ng sa Manila, pa ganyan, pag nagdrawing po tayo ng perpendicular na 15 kilometrs pa punta ditto at nag drawing po tayo ng Pasay 15 kilometres, magkakroon naman po ng overlap. Kaya po yung pag do drawing na ginagawa ng NAMRIA, ay sinusunod po talaga namin yung guidelines para po maiwasan namin yung overlap. Ang ginagawa po ditto ay nagkakaroon po ng Public Consultation, kinakausap po yung mga Local Government ahmmm Representatives, yung mga mayors po ay pinapagawa po ag pag do drawing para po maiwasan ang overlap at sa pag resolve naman po ng boundary overlap, may mga dalawang magkakatabi na bayan at munisipyo ay ahhmmm tumutulong po ang NAMRIA kung paano po mareresulba yung pati kase po hindi po kami ang magsasabi na nandito ang boundaries, wala po yun sa mandato ng NAMRIA yun, ang makakaresolba lang po ng boundary ng magkakatabing bayan ay ang dalawang magkatabing musipyo at yun nga po, hinuhimok po namin na yun pong magkakatabi na mga bayan ay mag usap usap para po maiwasan niyo ang conflict (inaudible). Yun lang po Salamat.
People clapping…
Atty. Madrona: Salamat po Sir from NAMRIA, NAMRIA as mentioned has no final say on the (inaudible) but definitely we are working with our neighboring LGU (inaudible) as with the legal basis of our municipal waters as you mentioned the NAMRIA letter, we have an ordinance on the municipal waters in our CLUP as approved by the (inaudible) and the HLURB last year. So, it will be included in our municipal waters, but (inaudible), we are actually working now with our neighboring cities. So, rest assured we will (inaudible).
Public Hearing Officer: Ah okay, salamat po, atty may follow up question lamang po sa Via Amare case na tinanong kanina ni Atty. Pe Benito, ah among the chair ano?
Atty. Pe Benito: Ah the share between the city and the private contractor sa reclaimed area?
Atty. Madrona: Subject for approval po ng PRA, ah actually we have ahmm, its been, we will be entering up to the (inaudible) nag MOU palang po kami sa PRA. Ang MOU po mismo total naka delineate na po dun yung sharing mismo. What has been clear now as per PRA po na what we call this… ang kanilang rules sa (inaudible) 60-40 under the Republic of the Philippines and the Municipality of Pasay.
XXXX: Sino po yung 60%?
Atty. Madrona: Republic of the Philippines, (inaudible), so yun po yung (inaudible), so as to the project, subject po eto ng approval ng Philippine Reclamation Authority (inaudible), we will be entering with them our Memorandum of Agreement. As of the moment, nasa MOU palang po kami, nag aapply po kami for reclamation project as a requirement po dun is of course we should have ECC. So ayun po marami pong requirements, we have a lot of stages to follow pa before pa kami makadating sa ganun na step. So as of the moment we could not state clearly kase nga subjected to the national government. As (inaudible) to 146, dadaan pa po sa NEDA eto, it is a long process. May NEDA pa po kami sa EO 146 so hindi p ito madalian, we believe all the agencies of the government are looking at our project. And we are certain that they will be examining likewise and we are glad and happy to handle. Thank you.
Public Hearing Officer: Ok, concerns pa po? Yung iba, please.

PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT
….
Mangiginisda sa Las Pinas: Ah magandang umaga po sa ating lahat, ako nga po pala si Vic Martinez mula po sa mangingisda ng Las Pinas, ah ngayon po sa [resentasyon ni doctor kanina, para hindi p kakulangan, parang yung impact na ano parang yung sa alon, hindi naman po iyong halimbawa po yung high tide (inaudible) hindi po aabot ang tubig diyan. Mula ng magkaroon ng reclamation, kase (inaudible) may lupa na mababa talaga. Ngaun umaano ngayon sa bahay namin ang tubig, so siguro nga talagan napapagusapan natin ngayo yung Manila. Syempre lagyan natin ng lupa, aapaw yung tubig so wala pong (inaudible) mababang lugar eh. Eh duon po sa high tide syempe taas yung tubig ano pa kaya po kung salubungin yan ng baha galing dun sa bundok, ano po ba ang mangyayari?
Public Hearing Officer: Ok, ahhhh Dr. aaahhhh naiintindihan niyo po yung question, sir? Ok.
Dr. Alabastro: Ah tama po ba ang aking pagkakaintindi? Yung parang may isang banyerang tubig na kung kagyan niyo ng lupa, aapaw iyun.
Mangiginisda sa Las Pinas: Opo, tama po.
Dr. Alabastro: Ah… ok, ang nakikita ko lang ganito. Yung proyekto na ito, will require a filling ng lupa, 50 million cubic meter, ang Manila Bay po 30 Billion cubic meter. So kung sakali po maglagay kayo ng lupa, aapaw ba? Hindi po namin nakikita kung paano mapapa-apaw ng 30 million so 60 million cubic meter ng lupa ang 30 billion cubic meter ng lupa. Ngayon, dalawa pa po, so nagpatong tayo ng lupa ditto pero naghukay naman po tayo ng lupa sa San Nicholas Shoal. Pangalawa po kung yan po ay aapaw, ang Manila Bay po ay connected sa South China Sea. So dapat ang atin pong titingnan na banyera ay Manila Bay at South China Sea, hindi pwedeng Manila Bay lang.
Mangiginisda sa Las Pinas: Pero po (inaudible). Pero kami po nararamdaman po namin dahil kami po yung nasa lower area. Nung araw po ay ( inaudible), almost wala pa pong ano, hindi pa po inaabot yung bahay namin ng tubig. Nagyon po matapos yang mga reclamation na yan, Las Pinas taga Barangay( inaudible) pa po ako at nung nito p nung mangyari yung reclamation na yan, yung tubig po nandun na po sa may bahay namin, sa madaling sabi po dahil sa ano sa resulta ng climate change talgang umaangat yung tubig. Paano po kung (inaudible) alam ko madami pang magyayari na reclamation, ano po kaya mangyayari sa buhay namin dyan. Pag high tide mataas ang tubig tapos sasalubungin ng baha. Yun lang po, salamat po.
Public Hearing Officer: Aaahhh, doc…. May ahhh, may response po ba tayo dun? Yung relevance daw po ng climate change sa reclamation project at sa pagtaas ng tubig?
Dr. Alabastro: (inaudible) Ang ating ah project ay hindi magbibigay ng pressure sa climate change. . Wala pong kinalaman ang project na ito sa climate change. Ang climate change ay dulot ng mga (inaudible) emission galing sa Russia, China, United State. Claro po iyun. Pangalawa po, yung climate change naman ang maaring maidulot sa project ay baka po sa sea level rise. May project man o wala pwedeng magkaroon ng sea level rise. At sino ang magbibigay at ano ang sanhi ng sea level rise? Hindi lang po dahil sa reclamation project dahil din po sa climate change na binubuga ng mga greenhouse gas gaya ng ibang bansa. Yun po ang nakikita naming, wala po kaming nakikita na epekto or (inaudible) by the project on climate change.
Public Hearing Officer: Yes mam.
Resident of Paranaque: Kase po ahhh. Engr. Alabastro, meron pong mga proyekto kagay po ngayon, na preparer ng Pasay pero kayo din po ang preparer ng Paranaque, alam ko dahil ako po ay taga Paranaque at yun din po an gaming question sa inyo, kung iisa-isahin niyo lang po yung project, talagang pwede naming matanggap yung sagot niyo. Pero alam po natin na konektado po lahat yan, konektado lahat yan sa Manila Bay. Kaya yan po ay may epekto and don’t ano the climate change, kase ngayon palang po tayo ay apektado na ng climate change. Baka di po natin alam itong mga
114 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT pagbagyo, yung ating mga pagbaha, apektado na po tayo. So ah ang sinasabi ko lang po ay we cannot deny that itogng mga mga iaano sa atin, itong mga project na ito ay mayron mga sa ating hindi magandang ahhh epekto kaya nga sinasabi naming bakit pa natin i-undertake, para saan, para kanino at what cost, what price and for what? Ayan nap o yung mga fishermen natin, sinasabi po nila na ano,. Sa Paranaque nakakahuli pa po ng mga isda na mga maliliit at yun po ang kinakabuhay ng mga fisherman sa Paranaque. Kaya hindi po kami naniniwala na ang Manila Bay ay walang marine life (inaudible) at marine resource. Kailangan nga po natin linisin upang magkaroon po at mas lalong yumabong pa ang ano nito ang yamang dagat na binibigay nito. Salamat po.
People clapping…
Dr. Alabastro: Ganito lang po, yung… sinabing marine life, ahhhh what ahhh Manila Bay ay ang tintingnan po naming (inaudible) ay hindi po Manila. In connection sa mga reclamation projects (inaudible) mga 20, 000 hectares, tinangnan po natin kung saan nangagaling yung greenhouse gas. (inaudible) Yan po ay (inaudible) ng IPCC, isa-isa po sinasabi kung saan nangagaling CO2 at tyaka NOx. Sa buong mundo ginagamit yan , wala po duon nakalagay kase ang reclamation project ay madami sa China marami sa ibang bansa. Hindi po kasama ang reclamation project sa major sources ng greenhouse gas. (inaudible) at wala naman po kaming alam na project na paisa-isa. Maaring meron sa Paranaque, maaring mayroon ditto, magkakaiba po iyun. Ayun po.
Public Hearing Officer: Ok po. Ahhhm concerns with, questions, comments, yes mam.
Lyceum College of Law Representative: Hello po, magandang tangahli po. Ahhh… from Lyceum College of Law, aahhh siguro po gusto ko lang po mag speak sa general public, kase po di ba kanina may na address na traffic issue, meron din po mga nag address ng concern nila whereas po ang sagot ng ating local government ay let us focus on the reclamation phase of the project. Hindi po ba siguro parang mas maganda kung isang full blown siya po na Programmatic EIS nalang po kaya para po lahat ng concerns, lahat po ng issue ay masama na total naman po nasabi ng local government na ang Pasay po ay marami ng na reclaim project, siguro po hindi na magiging problema na magkaroon ng isang programmatic EIS para ma shoulder o ma address na po lahat ng concern ng mamamayan kase po kung general public po kayo magtatanong kayo, nasa phase palang po tayo ng reclamation at hindi nasagot ang concern niyo, baka po ang tendency natin ay tambakan na ho ang umattend sa susunod na hearing which is the aaahh ahhhmmm program o which is yung second phase na po ng reclamation na nandito sa paper, not the second phase the first one is reclamation, the second is the ahhh operations phase po. Di ba parang ok po siguro pag ganun, kung although optional lang naman po yung Programmatic EIS, di ba? Pero naiintindihan ko naman po na siguro talagang maganda ang plano ng ating Local Government Unit, hindi naman po siguro masama kung baka magkaroon din sila ng interest to make a Programmatic EIS para po sa isang Public Hearing ma address lahat ng tanong ng general public (inaudible) kase baka mamaya rin po may fear din po siguro tayo na kung pa patuloy ang reclamation na ganitong project, baka po mamaya magamit at magamit ang ganitong systema natin. (inaudible)
Atty Corpus: Can you clarify what is Programmatic EIS? Kase mas dangerous yun.
Lyceum College of Law Representative: Ahhh (inaudible) pag sinabi po natin na Programmatic EIS, nandun na po lahat nan aka… nandun nap o lahat sa plan na yun, yung… kumbaga not only the reclamation but pagka tinayo na po yung mismong project and its environmental impact.
Public Hearing Officer: Ahhh… Carlo, I will explain ano? Kase ang isang Programmatic EIS its ahhh required for coal (inaudible) projects, so ang nagsasabi kunwari reclamation project tapos kunwari meron naman isang reclamation project which is also move by the ano, the proponent. Carlo??
Engr. Arida: In addition lang dun sa sinabi ni Atty., (inaudible) kase ano yung programmatic is a (inaudible) is special option of the (inaudible) is an optional ang nakalagay. Pwede mag apply ang
115 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT proponent kase usually yung usually study based yung programmatic mas ma appreciate mo siya kapag ano eh Industrial Park, ayun dun whereas yung isa din sa Bataan, so programmatic siya. So yun po pinag aaralan natin (inaudible). We have also observed the application (inaudible). So (inaudible).
Public Hearing Officer: So, I think the question ni madam is about sustainability noh? And yung way forward, tama ba?
(inaudible)
Atty Corpus: Back in 2014 or 2015, there was a letter from the CEO of PRA applying for the programmatic clearance for the whole, for the 36, 000 flood reclamation from Cavite to Bataan, and It was (inaudible), so concern about with that move from PRA, that ahhmmm the Senate, that the Senate Committee on Government Corporation conducted an inquiry kase mas dangereous ho yung sinasabi niyo na programmatic dahil ibig sabihin ho yung application pag na yung isang permit lang sa lahat ng 36, 000 hectares of Manila Bay, reclamation project, so that is aaahh unthinkable. Ibig sabihin isa lang ang applyan ng PRA for 36, 000 hectares of reclamation ehhh tapos na tayo lahat regardless of the city. So I do not ano, I do not advise it, it’s very dangerous. Dangerous and tawag dun nakakabahala, very alaraming pag ganun ang ini expose lalo pag coming from DENR.
Public Hearing Officer: Ok po, ahhh.
Dr. Alabastro: Eto po ang nakikita namin sa programmatic, yung project ng PRA for the 36,000 is a Programmatic EIS. Tama po yun, it is a study, hindi po yun application. We can always study so that we can (inaudible) guidelines of the Revised Procedural Manual. However for the purpose of applying for an ECC hindi po naming nakikita na itong 265 hectares ay magiging programmatic unang una simple lang po ang involve. Unang una, creation of land ,ayan po. However during operations, the creation of land the (inaudible). However during operations phase baka pwede, baka, depende po sa proponent ang programmatic. Why? Because during the creation, during operations phase there are certain components merong mall, merong arena, iba iba ang may ari nyan at ang operations phase natitiyak po ako will be completed in maybe at least 20 years, so pwede ganun programmatic. Samantalang itong reclamation maybe completed in 5 years. So depende po iyun, kaya ko po sinagot iyun dahil kami po at our choice sabi nga po ng casehandler, we chose to apply for an EIS documentation.
Public Hearing Officer: Ahhh ok, questions, query, anymore?
(inaudible)
Engr. Lagmay: SIguro po ahhh baka po ang ibig niyong sabihin, kapag kapag… meron po kaseng proseso kapag nag formulate ng CLUP, yung Comprehensive Land Use Plan, so pinormulate po namin ang aming CLUP nuong 2003 meron pong kolatilya sa CLUP namin na bawal ang reclamation naming na bawal ang reclamation for the next ahhhmmmm for the in coming period this is until 2013. However nuon pong 2013 and 2014, nag update po kami ng aming CLUP ng Pasay, nanduon na po ang aming proposal for reclamation projects at isinama po naming ito duon sa sa aming proposal para duon sa aming CLUP na 2014 up to 2022 actually ah supposed to be that would be until 2028 however sinabi ng mga national government agencies na dapat 9 years lang daw so ahhh up to 2022 lang tong aming ano aming CLUP. Duon po sa aming CLUP mam 2014-2022 kasama po duon yung proposal naming for reclamation, bakit po naming isinama? Dahil pagdating po nung time na yun, yun pong aming existing na reclamation project which yun na po yung tinatayuan ng MOA at ng CCP ahhh anon a ho siya halos developed na siya so meron na po kaming way para mag extend dun sa ano naming na reclamation project so kaya lang poi sustain yung another reclamation project, yun pong ahhh proposed na reclamation project naming na yun, yun pong mga impacts niya regarding traffic yung yung effect ng sa population kasama po yun sa kinonsider namin nuong prinoposed po namin yung aming reclamation project. So siguro po duon po sa proseso ng formulation ng CLUP, duon po pumapasok siguro yung mga tanong tungkol sa mga study nay un and yun pong aming CLUP before was approved by HLURB,
116 | P a g e
PROPOSED PASAY CITY HARBOR CENTER RECLAMATION PROJECT PUBLIC HEARING REPORT dumaan po siya sa MMDA technical review and as well as na process din po ng technical review yun pong mga national government agencies actually kasama po duon yung DENR, ang DPWH, halos lahat po ng national government agencies na nandun sa Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board.

PRA: Ahhhmmm, just a short ano po, for the summary of the (inaudible), wala pong memo regarding pinagbabawal yung pagkumuha ng ano from SNS, wala lang palang siyang ECC kaya hindi pa pwede gawin. And PRA is currently applying for the ECC. And it is not the project proponent’s responsibility to get the ECC for the area where they will get their filling materials kase ahhmm the responsibility of the one providing the (inaudible). And additionally po, nakapag bigay na din po kami ng advise na mag consider ng other ahh,, sources of filling materials dahil nga po hindi pa siya nabibigyan ng ECC. Thank you po.
Engr Arida: Ok po. So, for the Closing Remarks, may I call on our Hounourable Mayor.
Hounourable Mayor Calixto: Muli, magandang hapon ho, aaahh (inaudible) invited dito sa Public Hearing, don’t worry ho, i-ko-comply po ng city government lahat ng dapat naming i-comply para po maging (inaudible) pero pupwede ho sana na ang programang ito ay hindi lang ho para sa ating mamamayan ng ating lungsod kundi para Pilipinas para po sa mamayan ng ating Republika. Alam po ninyo yung po mga nakaraan ang Pasay City Government ay 30 million lang ho ang income ng Pasay during Mayor Pablo Cuneta. Naging OIC Mayor ang aking amo, nagging 100 million plus, pero nung mga nakaraang taon, when I was elected as City Mayor nuong 1995, ang income po naming ay 1.2 Biliion pesos after 8 years ang income po ng Lungsod ng Pasay ay umabot nap o sa 6.4 billion pesos+. Ilang libong mga kabataan at mamamayan ang pinakikinabangang ang income ng Lungsod ng Pasay. Lahat ng estudyante ng ating lungsod magmula elementarya, college, elementary ay may benepisyo na Php500 buwan buwan. Saan naming kinikuha ang pera para sa aming mga estudyante? Dyan po sa reclamation. Alam niyo po kung bakit? Kung an gating mga tao ay pagdagdag ng padagdag wala pong magagawng programa ang pamunuan ng Lungsod ng Pasay. Bakit po nasabi ni Mayor Tony Calixto? Kung iisipin po natin that beyond on our call, yun pong mga kalamidad at kung ano ano nangyatari. Pero kaya lamang malakas ang aking loob sa reclamation na ito dahil 40 years na po ang ating reclamation ng Pasay. Wala pong perwisyo, wala din po damage na nagawa para sa ating lungsod at para sa ating mga katabi. Kaya naman ang aapela ako sa inyo, sa aking mga minamahal na kababayan na kung maari ay ating pag aralan ng mabuti bago po tayo gumawa ng kung ano-ano dahil napakalaking programa po hindi lamang po sa ating lungsod ang gagawin natin na reclamation. Ito ay magiging tourist spot at ito ay gagawin natin sa loob ng 10 hangang 15 taon. Hindi ko na po yan maabutan, yun pong mga nakalagay na programa sa reclamation. Ang sinasabi ko po sa inyo, yun pong 6.5 billion ay aabutin po kami ng 20 billion pesos pag natapos po ang reclamation na yan. Kaya inaasahan ko po ang kooperasyon ng bawat isa, hindi lamang po ito sa aming Lungsod ng Pasay kundi para sa ating Pilipino, mga mamayan ng ating bansa. At nakita niyo naman ho ninyo pati po local pati foreign na turista ay nagpupunta po dito sa MOA. Nuon po traffic, concern din po yan, noon pa, yung peace and order concern din po yan pero meron po kaming mga pag aaral. Maraming salamat po sa inyong mga suggestion na binigay sa araw na ito, kung kulang po ay aming dadagdagan at kukumpletuhin an gaming mga requirements upang maituloy na itong reclamation project na ito. Hindi ko na po yan aabutan, last term na po ako ngayon, (inaudible) na ppo ngayong Mayo year 2018 pero gusto ko lang po iwan ito na legacy para sa ating mga kababayan dito sa ating Lungsod ng Pasay. Kaya ako ay nakikiusap sa bawat isa naririto na masusi natin pag aralan kung hindi po talaga pwede ay hindi po natin ito itutuloy, kung pwede naman po naman ay huwag na nating patagalin at tulungan nap o ninyo ang Lungsod ng Pasay dahil ilang lining mga kababayan o mga kabataan ang makikinabang. Ang mga guro, estudyante, mamamayan at hindi lamang ang mga mamamayan ng Pasay kundi ang bawat isang Pilipino. Marami pong salamat at mabuhay po kayong lahat.
People clapping…
Engr Arida: Maraming salamat ho mayor, so pasalamat lang ho ako muli kase dumalo kayo sa Public Hearing namin. So ditto ho nagtatapos ang activity natin. Maraming salamat po.
