Bacoor fire suspected as arson perpetrated by Cavite LGU

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Homes of urban poor residents in Brgy. Sineguelasan, Bacoor catch fire. The said area is reportedly faced with dev't aggression efforts by local politicians and will be affected by the construction of a P100-B bridge from Cavite to Bataan."

In the midst of a super typhoon in the middle of a pandemic, a fisherfolk community in Bacoor, which has been receiving arson threats, was ravaged by fire. Strong winds made the fire spread a lot faster. The suspected perpetrators? The Cavite local government.

This is what happens talaga kapag may kailangan paalisin sa lupa. Pinapasunog yung lugar. People are so f*cking heartless.

Naiiyak ako sa nangyaring sunog sa Bacoor. 

Imagine being part of the urban poor and you're a victim of possible arson. 

This is the plan of the Diamond Reclamation project. 

Coincidence? –Definitely it’s NOT. 

This is an arson attack. Brgy. Sineguelasan in Bacoor has been facing arson attack attempts from what the residents suspect are by the agents of Local Government Unit in Bacoor.

Reason? This is a part of a multi-billion bridge project to connect Cavite and Bataan, and it is planned to be built on the place where Brgy. Sinuguelasan locates.

What would be the basis of the LGU regarding this arson attack? Like a thief in the night, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has approved to grant Environment Compliance Certificate (ECC) to Bacoor LGU.

They got a permission to do a reclamation of a 320-hectare coastal land- affecting 700 families.

(Poor residents of this coastal barangay where their job was there at the Manila Bay. Mawawalan sila ng bahay just because of the Government...)
