Capiz governor vows to save Panay River |
![]()
ROXAS City – Capiz governor Antonio del Rosario promised to revitalize the Panay River, which he claimed to have become “polluted” and “not fit for human activities.” “I am so dismayed that the river is so dirty, [what] with [all the] garbage and human waste,” del Rosario said. “Why do they (local government) allow this?” The governor laid out his plans to the capitol department heads. He said the Provincial Legal Office is helping him work on an executive order creating the council and the task force. The Panay River Council shall demolish illegal structures along the river, including urban poor shanties and fish cages, which contribute to siltation. It shall comprise representatives from the departments of Environment and Natural Resources and of Public Works and Highways, engineers and building inspectors from the 16 towns and this city, and non-government and media organizations. “If necessary, I will encourage the Council to file cases with the Ombudsman against engineers and building inspectors if they do not do their job of protecting the Panay River,” del Rosario stressed. Asked about commercial mining, which is seen to possibly pollute the Panay River, del Rosario said he will not allow it as long he is the governor but pointed out his office is independent of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP). The SP has passed Provincial Ordinance No. 9 series of 2016, which lifted the 50-year moratorium on all large-scale mining activities in Capiz. (John Heredia/PN)
