Mandaue City eyes outsourcing tree cutting services

The Freeman

April 08, 2025

The Mandaue City Government is considering outsourcing tree cutting services, particularly for dense and hazardous species such as the buri (palm) tree, citing the importance of having trained professionals on-site during the process.

"Actually, dili ni sayon ang pagputol sa buli labi na og gipalibutan ni siya og mga properties and structures," said City Administrator Atty. Jamaal James Calipayan, emphasizing the complexity of cutting buri trees surrounded by properties.

The move comes after a tragic incident in Barangay Ibabao-Estancia, where a decayed buri tree collapsed and killed a six-year-old boy. Following the incident, the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) began cutting similar trees in the area.

Calipayan noted that buri trees are particularly challenging to manage due to their size and density, posing potential risks not only to the public but also to those cutting them down.

"Kinahanglan gyud na siya og naay abilidad, technical nga kahibalo," he added, stressing the need for skilled expertise in such operations.
