No Comments on ILLEGAL ESTABLISHMENTS ALONG BINLOC SHORE DEMOLISHED

Illegal structures along the shoreline of Bonuan Binloc have been dismantled by joint elements of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), City Engineering Office and Philippine National Police-Dagupan on February 15 as part of Mayor Belen Fernandez’s determined efforts in protecting Dagupan’s coastal areas and boosting its famous beach attractions.

Untenured occupants have no legal authority to occupy the area aside from the fact that no building permits have been issued to the owners, according to the CENRO while City Legal Officer Atty. Aurora Valle said the area is classified as a foreshore land and thus considered as a public domain which can never be the subject of appropriation.

The ‘One Bonuan’ project composed of barangays Bonuan Gueset, Bonuan Binloc and Bonuan Boquig, highlights the promotion of Tondaligan Ferdinand as a signature tourist landmark while a 20 million-peso worth One Bonuan Tourism Pavilion sponsored by Sen. Risa Hontiveros will soon rise, also in Bonuan Gueset, to attract more tourists and investors.

Nalalapit na ang operasyon ng Balay Silangan na magsisilbing reformation facility ng mga indibidwal na apektado ng ilegal na droga tungo sa pagbabalik sa normal na pamumuhay.

Kaugnay nito ay sumailalim na ang mga barangay officials sa BDCP Orientation sa pangangasiwa ng PDEA Provincial Office sa pangunguna ni Pangasinan Provincial Director Retchie Camacho, DILG Dagupan CLGOO Royolita Rosario, Dagupan PNP sa pamumuno ni PtCol Brendon Palisoc, at ng City Social Welfare and Development Office.

Dito ay muli ring nagkaroon ng pag uusap para sa mga kinakailangan pang ihanda sa mas pinagtibay na drug reformation program sa Dagupan.

Ayon kay Mayor Belen Fernandez, mahalaga ito dahil isa sa requirements para sa drug clearing operations ng PDEA ay ang establishment ng isang Balay Silangan.

Inaasahan din ng siyudad ang kooperasyon ng bawat isa tungo sa pagiging Drug-Free City at ito, ayon sa alkalde ay kinakailangang magsisimula sa bawat barangay.

Maliban sa paglalaan ng pasilidad para sa Balay Silangan na akma sa requirements ng PDEA, ang siyudad ay handa rin niyang maglaan ng tulong pinansyal bilang suporta sa pamilya ng drug offenders habang sumasailalim sa rehabilitasyon at livelihood assistance matapos ang naturang rehab intervention.
