A lot is being published regarding alleged illegal reclamation projects at Laguna Lake. This is pervasive at Taguig and even in our town where hectares of the lake are being reclaimed. They say that LLDA will not allow any construction beyond the 12.5 mllc elevation But it is not. They allege that LLDA law prohibits reclamation projects (I tried to look for such authority under the law that created LLDA This post can not find clearcut rules on reclamation.)
The GM of the agency appeared to be surprised and may be his monitoring team are napping?
Now its flood control projects being masqueraded but in reality are reclamation projects. (One of them a siomai Lord turned billionaire, alleged not to have been rich due to the product but because of something else)
Will there be more with the coastal road projects?
Really these activities must be controlled becasue of frequent floodings, pollution and its possible effect on the use of Laguna Lake as reservoir for Manila Water and Maynilad. It is possible that the water storage capacity of the lake could be affected with the decrease in volume due to reclamation
