NEW LAND USE PLANS

FOLLOWING the discovery of 24 additional sinkholes, the Office of Civil Defense 7 has

announced that earthquake-affected towns in northern Cebu are now required to formulate a new comprehensive land use plan.

OCD 7 Director Joel Erestain said the move is mandatory due to the emergence of subsidence and a new fault line after the September 30 earthquake.

Erestain stressed they have to come up with a new land use plan for rezoning because sinkholes and a fault line are appearing.
