Bases group sets repair plan in motion
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority has set in motion an intensive rehabilitation program for a 10.92-hectare portion of the Roosevelt National Park forest reservation in Bataan affected by the ongoing construction of the P21-billion Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway.
The rehabilitation project, worth P1.9 million, involved renovation of the 200-square meter Nature Pavilion Center at the Roosevelt Protected Area Landscape. The center now serves as the headquarters of the RPLS, as well as a meeting place for the DENR-PAMB and the expressway’s sectoral monitoring team.
Another component of the rehabilitation project was the replacement of all trees within the Roosevelt National Park that were cut down to give way for civil works on the 94-km. toll road. The BCDA was able to minimize to about 70 percent the number of full-grown trees that were affected by the SCTEx alignment work.
The seedlings have been turned over to the local office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Protected Area Management Board that would oversee the reforestation activities.
To facilitate mobility of people inside the park, the BCDA built a pedestrian overpass. A perimeter fence was also installed to secure the area traversed by the tollway.
In keeping with its corporate social responsibility commitments, the BCDA gave priority to local residents in the hiring of workers needed for the road construction.
Meanwhile, the BCDA has also completed the setting up of a 235-meter perimeter fence in Dreamland Village in Taguig City.
The Lupang Katuparan Fencing Project was implemented in line with efforts to develop a BCDA property in Taguig as a relocation site for families affected by the agency’s real estate development projects.
Lupang Katuparan offers lots ranging in size from 36 sq. m. to 72 sq. m. to qualified beneficiaries of the BCDA relocation program.
