The Masungi Georeserve Foundation called for the urgent intervention of the national government in protecting the environment and environmental defenders following the claims from supposed Bureau of Corrections personnel of a relocation site of the New Bilibid Prison within the vicinity of the geopark.
“They bear a newly minted title over 270 hectares of the Lot 10 property in the name of BuCor. The remaining 30 hectares of Lot 10 were reportedly titled in the name of the DENR. Lot 10 and the 300 hectares in question comprise the Masungi Georeserve,” the statement read.
“As early as 2009, DENR Secretary Lito Atienza issued a memorandum to the DENR Regional Director to submit an alternative area for the New Bilibid Prison for the amendment of Presidential Proclamation 1158, since Lot 10 is already subject to private rights,” it said. Masungi said it also sent letters relaying the information concerning Lot 10 to BuCor last Feb. 11, 2022 and June 28, 2022.
