The Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Wednesday said that it had already issued a temporary closure order against the resort in September 2023.
The now-viral resort is located within the Chocolate Hills protected area in Sagbayan town.
According to the DENR, the closure order against Captain’s Peak Resort was issued on September 6, 2023.
Meanwhile, the Notice of Violation to the project proponent was sent to the resort on January 22, 2024, for operating without an environmental compliance certificate.
However, netizens were quick to post photos in the social media that there was no closure since activities were held at the resort.
The Bohol Provincial Athletic Meet Swimming Competition was held at the Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort last February 2024.
It also caught the attention of
Filipino television presenter Gretchen Ho.
“TRO was issued September of 2023.
Bohol provincial meet just February of 2024. Social media and its receipts 🙈,” she posted on Facebook.
