Suspending quarry operations in Rizal could hurt public and private infrastructure projects in Metro Manila, where the province supplies the bulk of aggregates extracted from its mountains, an official of the DENR said.

“Likewise, all local government units … are strongly advised to cause the immediate stoppage of all land development activities, including subdivision development,” Ynares said.The Inquirer on Tuesday tried to reach Mayor Tom Hernandez of Rodriguez town, where most quarrying firms are operating, but he had yet to reply.

Rodriguez and San Mateo towns were the hardest-hit by Typhoon “Ulysses” that dumped heavy rains and triggered widespread flooding in Rizal and Metro Manila last month. On Nov. 18, the governor also wrote President Duterte to appeal for a “general moratorium” on land development, mining and quarrying in Rizal. She said this had been the provincial government’s plea since the administration of then President Benigno Aquino III.But Mercado said quarrying was not solely to blame for the floods, stressing that it was a problem too complex and compounded by heavy rainfall, saturated watersheds and heavily silted tributaries.

matagal nayan lalo nasa montalban nko sirana ang bondok jan

DENR are very much concerned with possible delays of MM projects now...

It could hurt the pockets of government officials too? 😏 kaya hayaan na ang mahihirap na nakatira malapit sa mga ilog ang magkangmamatay sa baha? Habang kayong mga buwaya kolekta ng kolekta ng komisyon sa mga proyektong sinasabi nyo? 👎 DENR pa ba talaga kayo

Check the owner of the quarry

So find somewhere else.

And what is the core mandate of DENR under this regime? You still wonder why the color of deluge waters in Metro Manila and Rizal Province is dark brown? One thing is sure if the quarry is suspended or stopped: The 'commissioners' will lose their milking cow.
