00:00A resort in Tanay, Rizal was shut down in a protected area and watershed.

00:05The destruction of the watersheds is one of the signs of heavy flooding in Rizal.

00:13This is John Consulta's Hatiit news report.

00:15D.N.R. and the NBI-Rizal and NBI-Cavite forces entered Tanay, Rizal, which was heavily flooded.

00:33Heavy equipment was caught in the act while marching.

00:37Inside the 5-hectare compound, many structures such as cafeteria, rooms, camping area, ATV track and coffee shop were damaged.

00:49The local government and Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office approached the NBI

00:55to complain about the damaged structure inside Kaliwa River Forest Reserve, a protected area and watershed.

01:04The operation of the resort continues even though the recipient of Tanay already has a cease and desist order.

01:10They don't have a business permit as per the revenue code of the local government unit.

01:16They also violated the zoning ordinance of the LGU. They don't have a building permit.

01:23According to NBI-Cavite, NBI Director Jamie Santiago also pointed out to them that they are violating environmental laws

01:31such as the destruction of watersheds in Rizal, which are affected by floods, in low-lying areas in the province

01:37such as Montalban and San Mateo, as well as the nearby Marikina.

01:41Watersheds are a natural deterrent to the occasional flow of rainwater

01:50because it is the source of rainwater initially.

01:55If there are no more trees in our watersheds and protected areas,

02:01the flow of rainwater will be faster in low-lying areas

02:07and this will cause massive flooding like what happened in Marikina and Metro Manila.

02:15According to the JMA News Research, the forest cover in Rizal decreased by 26% compared to 2003.

02:25The DNR can continue the forefeature proceedings against the owners of the structures

02:35and this can be used against the government.

02:41These structures can also be destroyed to restore the environment.

02:48The resort was closed while two cashiers and two backhoe operators were arrested.

02:54They were jailed in the NBI detention facility in Belivid but we are trying to get the evidence.

03:00They are facing a complaint of flooding in the National Integrated Protected Areas or NIPAS Act
