No. of environmental fee violators up

SINCE the implementation of the P100 environmental fee in Lapu-Lapu City on May 1, 2024, boat and island-hopping operators have repeatedly violated the rules.In the first week alone, around 20 boatmen were identified for apprehension due to non-compliance with the ordinance, according to Claire Cabalda, officer-in-charge of the Lapu-Lapu City Treasurer’s Office .However, Cabalda noted that a lack of information from these offenders has delayed the issuance of formal violation notices.

The fee applies to tourists engaging in island hopping, scuba diving, free diving, jet skiing and other water activities.The ordinance outlines a tiered penalty system, starting with a warning, followed by a P3,500 fine for the second offense, P5,000 for the third, and ultimately, revocation of business permits.To further ensure compliance, Bantay Dagat personnel have been deployed to monitor shorelines and borders with Cordova.
