Senator Nancy Binay has filed a resolution seeking an inquiry into the reported plan of the Bureau of Corrections to build a new headquarters at the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal.
"While the initiatives of the Bucor to have a new headquarters and housing for its personnel is reasonable, it is important to weigh the possible consequences of building its headquarters in an Ecotourism site like the Masungi Georeserve, which may affect the environment and tourism in the country," she added.
The agency issued the remark a day after the Masungi Georeserve called for the intervention of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, and Environment Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga after BuCor personnel conducted an “ocular inspection” of the alleged “relocation site of the NBP.”
Catapang said Bucor's rights on the property were based on the transfer certificate issued in September 2006 under Presidential Proclamation 1158.Nevertheless, Catapang insisted that BuCor would continue with its plan to establish a headquarters unless the title of the property was nullified.
