     Iyan ang hirit ni Ken Hensly sa kaniyang Facebook post na mabilis na nag-viral matapos batikusin ng mga netizens ang isang resort sa gitna ng chocolate hills sa Bohol na naitampok ng isang content creator na si Ren the Adventurer na umabot na sa fifteen (15) million views. Tumanggi namang magpa-unlak ng panayam si Hensly.

     Ang naturang resort ay ang Captain's Peak Resort na matatagpuan sa Barangay Canmano, Sagbayan, Bohol na may water park, slides, cottages at rooms.

     Hindi nagustuhan ng mga taong nakapanuod ng video ang lokasyon at estraktura ng resort dahil malaking kasiraan daw ito sa kagandahan ng atin kalikasan at labag daw ito sa batas. 

“I'm not amazed. Bakit pinayagan ng LGU ang ganito? Mawawala na ang natural wonders ng lugar” komento ng isang netizen sa mini vlog post ni Ren the Adventurer.

“Encroaching the natural wonder with an EYESORE”



Comments from Ren the Adventurer's post
 

     Ipinahayag ng mga tao sa comments ang kanilang pagkadismaya at hindi pagsang-ayon sa itinayong resort, dahil dito dinumog ng mga tanong ang Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) patungkol dito: “Is that allowed? I believe chocolate hills is a protected area. Bakit nilagyan ng swimming pool?” “Bakit pinayagan ng DENR yan?” “DENR PENRO Bohol ano na?”

     Base naman sa inilabas na pahayag ng DENR noong March 13, nag-issue na sila ng Temporary Closure Order noong September 6, 2023 at ng Notice of Violation noong January 22, 2024 dahil sa pagpapatakbo ng resort nang walang Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC). Naglabas naman ng Memorandum ang Regional Executive Director na si Paquito D. Melicor sa PENR Bohol Ariel Rica upang magsagawa ng inspeksyon at patawan ng Temporary Closure Order ang Captain's Peak Resort.

“The DENR-EMB will continue to monitor.”

     Sa ngayon ay pansamantalang itinigil ang operasyon ng resort matapos ang inilabas na pahayag ng DENR.

In Barangay Malis

It was sultry that day. Sweat and grime clung stubbornly to the skin. There was the din of traffic and jackhammers. The pungent scent of dust kicked up from the old roads they were drilling, and the smoke from the noxious exhaust of old cars penetrated deep into the lungs. Heat and dryness were in the air, but the land told a different story. For the residents of Barangay Malis, there has never been a day when the land was ever dry, and the situation worsens with the very infrastructure development that once brought the residents to Barangay Malis now being both the cause and the supposed solution to their current plight. Where it began Urban development projects have long been the driving force behind relocation in Guiguinto, Bulacan. In Barangay Tuktukan, nothing is permanent. Over the decades, many residents have been uprooted and continue to be displaced due to the relentless sprawl of what is believed to be progress.  The North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project, the common...
