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.
