Sunday Post: Pilar Mayor Wilson Pajo warned Irrigation Regional Director Modesto Membreve to be careful with his accusations especially if he cannot substantiate them with facts and figures.
The town executive was reacting to statements made by Engr. Membreve about the denuded situation of Pilar mountains.
The NIA official blamed Mayor Pajo for the massive deforestation in Pilar that threatens the water level of the Malinao dam.
According to Pajo, while he was aware that a government agency was overseeing the forested areas in the municipality, blaming him to what happened to its mountains was entirely baseless.
Mayor Pajo said a sub-station of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is stationed in barangay San Vicente and its presence is enough deterrent to the denudation of the Pilar mountains.
According To Membreve, if the balding of the Pilar mountains will go on unabated, chances are it will endanger the water level in Malinao.
