IBA, Zambales — The Provincial Engineering Office of Zambales revealed on Wednesday alarming violations committed by resort owners in the towns of San Felipe and San Narciso.
An inspection team headed by Provincial Engineer Domingo Mariano surveyed the area and discovered that a number of resort facilities were illegally established and constructed along the seashore of the said towns.Mariano said that the structures are violating the national environmental standards and safety regulations in coastal construction projects, spotlighting the grave risks of unlawful development along the province’s fragile shoreline.
” The MGB also pointed out the significant geological impact of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption on the Zambales coastline. “When Pinatubo erupted, it expelled billions of cubic meters of volcanic material which either covered the volcano’s foot slopes or flowed into the sea through rivers,” said Lacadin, a licensed geologist. “After decades of lahar flows, the current shoreline was moved one kilometer toward the sea from its pre-eruption position.
