Three upland villages in Cebu City have been declared as “danger zones” by the city government’s Task Force Likay sa Landslide because of the presence of soil fissures that might put residents at risk.
Harold Alcontin, chief of the CCDRRMO, said in a separate interview on Feb. 1 that they started looking into the situation in upland villages since last year.
This prompted Rama to issue an executive order in December creating the Task Force Likay sa Landslide. The three villages are sparsely populated and thrive on vegetable and flower farming. Based on the 2020 census, Babag has a population of 5,945; Bonbon has 6,108; and Sirao, famous for its flower farms that have become a tourist attraction in the city, has a population of 3,647.
