MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has issued cease-and-desist orders on allegedly illegal reclamation projects in Taguig City, Secretary Vince Dizon said on Sunday.
Dizon said the orders were served on Aug. 20 following a directive from the Office of the President through the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA), which is under the said office.
“Let’s just discuss and if there is any problem there, then let’s determine the way forward,” Dizon told reporters in an interview after his inspection of the Tumana pumping station in Marikina City.
He added that the orders were “effective immediately,” but he also said his agency did not yet have a list of the projects involved.
