Monterazzas de Cebu denies cutting down 700 trees
Mont Property Group, the developer of Monterazzas de Cebu, welcomes an impartial investigation by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) into alleged environmental violations, including tree cutting and its contribution to flooding.
The DENR's initial findings indicated that only 11 trees remain at the site out of an original 745, which they consider a violation of the Forestry Code of the Philippines.
The developer vehemently denies cutting down over 700 trees, calling the claim "grievously false" and stating that the area was predominantly covered by grass, shrubs, and small plants with minimal topsoil, as indicated in their Environmental Impact Statement.
Mont Property Group refutes the DENR's premature pronouncements on alleged illegal tree-cutting activities.
