We already addressed the issue about the Captain’s Peak resort development at the Chocolate Hills area in Sagbayan, Bohol in September 2023.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan Committee on Environment has conducted an investigation and submitted its report and recommendation. As stewards of the province, we cannot let this go on.
We have asked DENR and the PAMB to change its policy to the point that any development within the Chocolate Hills area which is not consistent to Bohol’s UNESCO designation as a Global Geopark should be disallowed.
We will elevate this to the Secretary of the DENR for a clear guidance and direction.
