HERMOSA, Bataan — The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) is investigating a waste management company following complaints that it was operating without the necessary clearance from government agencies. | |||
PENRO head Amado Villanueva, accompanied by barangay tanods, went to the ADL Waste Management shop in the remote barangay of Mabiga, this town to inspect the facility, but they refused entry by management officials. | |||
Villanueva learned that truck drivers who are in cahoots with "insiders" were stealing fuel and these are being sold at low price by them to buyers in Hermosa, Bataan and in nearby San Roque, Lubao, Pampanga. | |||
But Angelina Hermoso, who claimed to be the owner of the ADL, said in a telephone interview that her company operates legally and has nothing to do with the reported smuggling of petroleum. | |||
But Villanueva said that “under the law, we can conduct immediate and on the spot inspection without clearance from the owners since what is at stake is the health of the public and the environment.” | |||
Villanueva had earlier recommended the closure of the Marinobu Trading in Mariveles, Bataan, after he found out that the company has no DENR permit. | |||
Villanueva learned that Mabiga is being used as a cache for pilfered petroleum. The petroleum is reportedly stolen by the syndicate from nearby Subic port. | |||
“We have received reports that a big stock room and well-fenced facility in Mabiga is being used by the illegal operator to hide and sell illegally his petroleum being stolen from Subic port, and we are investigating it,” said Villanueva. | |||
Villanueva said one of his staff had inspected earlier the warehouse but was not allowed in the shop. | |||
On Bypass road in Barangay San Roque, Lubao town, drivers and helpers of a number of oil tankers reportedly pilfer high grade petroleum and sell it to a businessman in the barangay. | |||
The barangay trader is reportedly operates openly along the Bypass road since he enjoys the protection of authorities in that area. | |||
