Estrao looking for relocation site

Hinoba-an mayor Ernesto Estrao said the Municipal Government is looking for a relocation site for about 500 residents who will be displaced by the establishment of a shipbuilding facility in Barangay Bacuyangan.

Estrao assured residents that the Municipal Government will follow the law that they cannot demolish their houses without providing them relocation site and livelihood assistance.

The Tsuneishi group is still processing its permits from various government agencies to put up the shipbuilding facility.

The company had earlier said about 5,000 jobs will be available to the residents when they start their operation.

The Municipal Council approved an ordinance converting the lands in Sitio Obong and Salvacion, Barangay Bacuyangan from agricultural to industrial zones. (TDE)
