Raps eyed vs Captain's Peak over illegal water use

The Philippine Star

March 21, 2024

The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) is considering filing a criminal case against the Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort for illegal extraction and use of water resources for its operations.

- JASPER EMMANUEL ARCALAS

NWRB executive director Ricky Arzadon said they discovered that the resort was utilizing deep wells without the necessary water rights and permits from the regulatory body.

Because of this, Arzadon said that he issued a cease-and-desist order – which is yet to be served – against the resort, which lies within the Chocolate Hills.

The resort has been temporarily closed due to irregularities raised by various government agencies, particularly the lack of an environmental compliance certificate (ECC).

“That is an illegal extraction of water. They do not have a permit and that is even a criminal offense,” Arzadon told reporters yesterday.
