Senate body to seek charges vs SBMA
The Senate committee on environment and natural resources is considering filing charges against officials of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) for "gross negligence" in a controversial housing project.
The project involved the construction of two high-rise condominiums by shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Ltd. inside the 10,000-hectare Subic Watershed Forest Reserve in Zambales.
Senator Pilar Juliana S. Cayetano, committee chairman, told BusinessWorld in a telephone interview she will "strongly recommend" in her committee report relating to the probe on the project, for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to file cases against SBMA for "violations, laxity, ignorance of the law and dereliction of duty on the part of SBMA [which] allowed development despite the absence of an ECC (environmental compliance certificate)."
But she stopped short of disclosing further moves since the committee is still studying other administrative charges. — BusinessWorld
