The Bureau of Corrections will push through with its plan to transfer its headquarters to a 270-hectare section of the Masungi Georeserve in Rizal province, despite opposition from the protected area’s private caretaker. /PDI
The plan has already been drafted and approved in line with the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028 of President Marcos, he said.
BuCor acquired the right to the Tanay property when Arroyo signed Proclamation No. 1158, also on Sept. 8, 2006, reserving a 270-ha parcel of government-owned land in Barangays Cuyumbay, Laiban, San Andres and Tinucan in Tanay. The proclamation said it would be the “new site of the New Bilibid Prison.”
“Existing jurisprudence dictates that until and unless it is nullified by a court of competent jurisdiction in direct proceedings for the cancellation of title, the TCT issued under the name of BuCor remains indefeasible and binding upon the whole world,” Catapang said in a statement. The georeserve includes parts of the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape and also serves as a natural filter for waterways to its nearby areas, including Metro Manila.
She said the foundation was ready to sit down and discuss the issue with Catapang and Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla.
