EdPam orders demolition of Abacan River shanties

ANGELES CITY – Citing the safety of residents of communities along the Abacan River, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan ordered yesterday urgent demolition of shanties and other structures situated on the entire stretch of the river bank.

“Our concern here is the safety of our people living dangerously along the river bank,” said Pamintuan in his directive.
He said the city government has to enforce the law.

“We do not want that the blame will be tossed to the city government in the event that something worse will happen to these informal settler families.”
Around 50 houses, mostly informal settlers, are subject for demolition in Barangays Ninoy Aquino and Malabanias.

Demolition team, led by the City Engineer’s Office, backed by barangay officials and policemen, started tearing down residential units along Abacan River.

As of yesterday, a total of 15 houses have already been flattened by demolition teams, according to City Engineer Don Dizon.
The decision was reached during an emergency meeting which Pamintuan convened with disaster-control officials, city council headed by Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting and concerned community leaders, in the wake of reports on the collapse of at least 20 houses due to soil erosion along the stretch of the Abacan River banks.

Affected residents, Dizon said, did not oppose Pamintuan’s call as they even volunteered to demolish their houses and transfer to safer grounds.
“No resistance was noticed during the initial phase of the demolition,” Dizon added.

Rochelle Aguilar of the Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office reported that a total of 78 houses in eight barangays in the city were swept by rampaging floodwaters along Abacan River following massive soil erosion brought about by flash floods triggered by continuous rains since Sunday.

A total of 276 families were evacuated to safer grounds (Read related story on this link http://www.headlinegl.com/270-families-evacuated-in-angeles-city/?preview=true).

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year.  Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times.  Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesn’t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball.   The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
