Defining the News
Some 1,000 residents of Nasugbu, Batangas gathered at Makati’s Freedom Park on June 6 to protest the plans of Roxas and Company Inc. to evict some 50,000 individuals from Haciendas Palico, Banilad and Kaylaway covering up to 2,941 hectares in nine barangays.
Among the affected areas is Barangay Aga, where communities would be allegedly demolished to make way for RCI’s planned real estate development. The measure calls on the BSP, LBP, DBP and BPI not to grant financial support or any extension of loans to RCI until such time that the firm settled its obligations with affected agrarian reform beneficiaries over the disputed lands.
BPI voiced its “appreciation” for the LGU’s efforts, noting that “BPI will seriously consider the contents of the SB Resolution 118, especially the concern of your Sangguniang Bayan for the farmers of your good town in the conduct of its business in the area.”
