All structures at the Chocolate Hills will likely be demolished to restore the protected area, Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said yesterday.

Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos leads the inspection of the Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort in Sagbayan, Bohol yesterday as a task force starts the probe on the structures built within the Chocolate Hills.MANILA, Philippines —

For his part, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said there should be a moratorium on the construction of establishments at the Chocolate Hills. “It is difficult to say but definitely the people on the ground would have known that this kind of project exists. I saw the papers of Captain’s Peak. They have the business permit, they have occupancy permit, which are given by the LGU,” David said.

“The DENR has no mandate to demolish or remove the structure, the LGU and PNP have the mandate. On our part, we provide violations. In the case of Bohol, among the violations include construction without an ECC permit, no permit to extract water from the ground and so on, the investigation is continuous. We will forward these violations to the concerned authorities,” he added.
