BACOLOD City Mayor Evelio Leonardia has issued Executive Order (EO) No. 19, creating a committee to investigate the cutting of trees along Araneta Street in Bacolod City.
Leonardia, who signed the EO on April 14, said the City of Bacolod has long treasured the mahogany, acacia and rubber trees along Araneta Street in Barangay Singcang-Airport.
He said the scenic line of trees along the said areas has been regarded as a tourist attraction and a source of pride for generations of Bacolodnons.
A total of 26 trees were cut by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) purportedly to give way to the rehabilitation of the sidewalk via the construction of a footwalk along the said areas.
