Opposition has stepped up against a 4-hectare housing project being developed in this Agusan del Sur on sloping land inside the one-kilometer buffer zone of the Mount Magdiwata watershed.

The SFWD board of directors has passed a resolution strongly opposing the project and called for the revocation of ECC No. ECC-OL-R13-2021-0113 dated June 9 issued to Marrea Estates.

The DENR in Caraga has admitted their fault in failing to inform the San Francisco municipal government of the resumption of the ECC application of Marrea Estates. The project site, Luzon also noted, is categorized under areas with a critical slope, recharge area of aquifer, and water bodies based on a memorandum issued by the Environmental Management Bureau of the DENR.Concerned residents expressed alarm over the massive flooding in the town center brought about by Tropical Depression Vicky on Dec. 18 last year. They said it could have been triggered by the clearing of the sloping land even as no ECC had been issued at that time.
