THIRTY residents and establishments were issued citations for violating environmental laws during the massive cleanup of the Mahiga Creek last Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019.“The ERR team was visiting nearby houses, issuing citation tickets. The team also forgave many violators, but only after lecturing them about the need to abide by the environmental laws,” said Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office head John Jigo Dacua in Cebuano.
