Senator questions geothermal
expansion in Negros Occidental |
|
Gov. Zayco remains unfazed by Sen. Pia Cayetano’s
call for inquiry
|
|
BACOLOD CITY: In an apparent signal to stop
meddling in local affairs, Gov. Isidro Zayco of Negros Occidental
questioned the authority of Sen. Pia Cayetano urging him to defer
the signing of a memorandum of agreement with the Energy Development
Corp. (EDC) with regards to the latter’s geothermal development
expansion into the buffer zone of Mount Kanlaon National Park.
“Who is Sen. Cayetano to block me in signing
the MOA with EDC since I already have the authority from the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan to do it thereby ensuring that we protect
our natural park as we answer our need for power,” Zayco said.
