DENR cites violations in Monterrazas de Cebu project
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has confirmed multiple environmental violations by the Monterrazas de Cebu project.
A multi-agency inspection team discovered substantial non-compliance with environmental requirements, including the clear-cutting of hundreds of unaccounted trees.
Of the 745 trees listed in a 2022 inventory, only 11 remained, a violation of Section 77 of the Forestry Code.
The DENR is building a case against the developer for these violations, including the unpermitted cutting of 734 trees on their 200-hectare property.
The Monterrazas de Cebu development has been linked to worsening runoff and flooding during Typhoon Tino, which caused significant casualties and displacement in Cebu.
