Senators lectured on Thursday the Department of Enviroment and Natural Resources (DENR) and its officials for their statements and issuances that appear to be condoning activities that are destroying the Marikina Watershed.
Senator Cynthia Villar raised an eyebrow over a remark made by a DENR official during his presentation in the Senate hearing on the state of the country’s forest lands and watersheds in relation to the massive flooding during the onslaught of Typhoon Ulysses last month.
Undersecretary Juan Miguel Cuna was discussing the probable causes of the flooding in Cagayan province, Bicol and Marikina City when he noted that even “if all urban development and quarrying are stopped and the Marikina Watershed (is) fully planted with 10-year-old mature trees, it will require nine times the area of Marikina Watershed to absorb all the water during Typhoon Ulysses.”
