Ipinagpaliban ng Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) ang kanilang planong ilipat ang kanilang headquarters sa Masungi Georeserve sa Rizal habang nito sa kalikasan.

Ito ang ibinunyag ito ni BuCor office-in-charge Gregorio Catapang Jr. sa pagdinig ng Senate committee on tourism nitong Martes.

“The 270 hectares of land awarded to BuCor pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 1158 as the site of the New Bilibid Prison will no longer push through, including the plan to relocate its national headquarters to this site will be held in abeyance pending further studies to be undertaken, taking into consideration the impact on the environment with the construction of BuCor facilities in the area,” sabi ni Catapang sa kaniyang opening statement.

Umaasa ang BuCor na matutulungan sila ng mga urban planner o environmental planner sa pagsagawa na masusi pang pag-aaral.

“If it’s not worth it, we’ll not pursue. What I will do now if this [is] really not available or not for us, we will just put also the forest rangers, we also have our agro-forest team that can help conserve and strengthen the ecosystem in the area,” dagdag pa ni Catapang, kasabay ng pagsabing anim na buwan ang kanilang hinihingi para pag-aralan itong mabuti.

Nauna nang naghain si Senadora Nancy Binay ng isang resolusyon para siyasatin ang napaulan ng plano ng BuCor na magtayo ng bagong headquarters sa Masungi Georeserve.

“Masungi is a symbol of sustainable development and at the forefront of efforts to conserve, restore, and improve the environment in the face of climate change, which must be protected by the government and private sector at all cost,” saad ni Binay.

“While the initiatives of the Bucor to have a new headquarters and housing for its personnel is reasonable, it is important to weigh the possible consequences of building its headquarters in an Ecotourism site like the Masungi Georeserve, which may affect the environment and tourism in the country,” dagdag niya.
