Archival supports moratorium

In his regular press conference yesterday (Dec. 22), Archival said he will issue a memorandum to department heads, particularly the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CCENRO) and the zoning office, directing them to submit reports on new upland projects and to verify compliance.

"Maghimo kog memorandum sa mga dept. heads, especially sa CCENRO and zoning.

Kinahanglan muhatag sila nako'g report sa mga development nga bag o unya, especially didto sa kabukiran. Second, e verify ni nila," he explained.

He recalled that even before the recent typhoon, he had already issued cease and desist orders in September covering three areas—two in the northern uplands and one in the south.

"So mao ni akong gipatan aw karon. Then again, before gyud 'ni sa bagyo, September pa 'to ... nga hunungon ang quarrying sa bukid," Archival said.
