Cebu Landmasters Inc. said its 100-hectare Cebu reclamation project obtained an environmental compliance certificate from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources after a two-year review.
CLI said the issuance of ECC was one of the major prerequisites for the reclamation project, and the next stage would be the approval from the Philippine Reclamation Authority.
“We hope to achieve the best balance among economic, social and sustainability goals and are pleased that our plans, which have been aligned to that ideal, passed the test of public hearings and DENR’s stringent review process,” CLI chairman and chief executive Jose Soberano III said.
The project called Ming-Mori Techno Business Park is a joint venture among the local government of Minglanilla, Cebu and private consortium partners of Ming-Mori Development Corp. of CLI. The project is envisioned to be a world-class estate that will generate over 75,000 jobs in the municipality and its environs while meeting sound environmental guidelines.
