The SB Batuan under Vice Mayor Atty. Dodo Jumawid (inset, upper left corner) is pushing to protect farmers and landowners while the ENIPAS Act provision declaring almost the whole town as protected area remains unamended. The committee chairmen (People’s Organization- Marvin Pancho: Cooperative- Segundo Bautista; Trade-Brad Dano: Barangay- Ian Bernadez) discussed including people’s rights in the ENIPAS amendment and crafting interim ordinances to protect small livelihoods.
