Businessman Gilbert Yap, who owns a property in Lambug on Tuesday, May 2, filed a complaint against Mayor Carmencita Lumain, Municipal Engineer Vicente Jojie Nillas of the Office of the Building Official, and Manolito Recopelacion of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources for allegedly allowing the construction of “illegal structures” near the Lambug Beach.
Yap said the construction of structures in the beach front also violated Republic Act 7586 or the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 1992 and Presidential Decree 1067 otherwise known as the Water Code of the Philippines. Last year, the municipal government of Badian issued a cease-and-desist order to stop the construction of beach houses in the area.
