A similar case has been reported in Barangay Pardo as well, with the operator failing to provide permits to allow them to quarry the area. But this has already been ordered stopped after the barangay complained about their presence. The two landslides are proof that the quarry has significantly affected the area, and thus must be prevented from further damaging the place.
If the CCENRO cannot produce the cease and desist order by Friday, Garganera said he will ask help from the DENR and the police to order the stop of the quarry in the area.
