'Don’t restore Laguna lake mega dike project'

THE militant fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) on Monday asked the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) not to revive a mega dike project in Laguna de Bay known as the Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike Project (LLEDP).

Fisherfolk, residents, environmentalists and other concerned sectors oppose the project, saying this will pose a grave threat to the already fragile marine environment and species in the 90-thousand hectare lake.
