Remulla says no 'dramatic moves' in Socorro after suspension of land deal

MANILA - Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla assured that the next steps of the government will be in accordance with the law after the suspension of the Protected Area Community-Based Resource Management Agreement between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Socorro Bayanihan Services, Inc.

“We don’t want anything so dramatic to happen, we just want everything to be done to the letter of the law kaya nga sa akin dinala ng iba-ibang government agencies na pag-usapan para we become very rational in every move we make as government,” Remulla said. “Hindi tayo magko-conclude tapos mabilisan na agaran na gagawa tayo ng judgment na mali ito dapat umalis ito, hindi ganon, we are not doing that,” Remulla said.
