RESOLUTION NO. 48

(Series of 2010)

A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE RECLAMATION AT MOONBAY MARINA, OCEAN VIEW BEACH RESORT AND ALL AREAS ALONG SUBIC BAY

WHEREAS, the Olongapo City Government has started to dredge its rivers in its effort to revive and maintain its waterways to prevent massive flooding;

WHEREAS, adding to the natural flow of Subic Bay, the reclamation project in Moonbay Marina becomes a major factor in the clogging of Kalaklan River;

WHEREAS, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has not issued an Environmental Clearance Certificate and Environmental Impact Assessment nor a consultation with contiguous area has been made;

WHEREAS, flood experts concluded that the Moonbay Marina Project is contributing in the clogging of the Kalaklan river preventing the free flow of Olongapo waterways to Subic Bay, while the continuous reclamation in Ocean View Beach Resort have uncertain effect in the environment;

WHEREAS, the city government sees the need to impede these reclamations and urge the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Moonbay Marina and Ocean View Beach resort to take the necessary mitigating measures;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of City Councilor Edwin J. Piano, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to oppose as it hereby opposes the reclamation at Moonbay Marina, Ocean View Beach Resort and all areas along Subic Bay.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished to SBMA, DENR, Ocean View Beach Resort and Moonbay Marina for their information and record.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, June 23, 2010.
