The Bohol Chronicle


The three Boholano solons said they were not informed of a House resolution seeking a congressional inquiry into the environmental impact of the oil seismic survey and future drilling at the Bohol-Cebu Strait.

This was the statement yesterday by representatives Edgar Chatto, Roberto Cajes and Adam Jala after fishermen’s groups intimated that the three congressmen did not show interest in House Resolution 212, filed by Bayan Muna Rep. Teodoro Casiño, even as it gained support with six other Visayan congressmen and party list representatives.

The 3 solons said they were not informed that the resolution was filed in Congress until last Wednesday, when it came out in a story of the Chronicle.

In fact, Casiño, the resolution’s principal author, revealed in an interview that he already apologized to Chatto for having been not informed on the matter.

Casiño bared that when the resolution was circulated in the House, the Boholano congressmen were not available since all three had separate meetings to attend.

Chatto pointed out that since the start of the debates regarding the effects of the seismic oil survey, he was already pushing for transparency.

“I welcome and support the formal inquiry on the matter in Congress,” the first district representative said.
For his part, Jala said he will review the resolution once he gets a copy of it.

Cajes, on the other hand, said that usually their offices are informed of resolution or bills to be filed that requires their support.

However, Cajes said his office was never notified of such resolution. He said he will study the resolution, once he receives a copy of it.

According to Casiño the resolution was already endorsed to the committee on the environment and natural resources.

It is now up to the committee to conduct hearings regarding the matter, Casiño said.

House Resolution 212 was jointly filed by administration congressmen Eduardo Gullas (Cebu 1st Dist., KAMPI), Benhur Salimbangon (Cebu 4th Dist., KAMPI), Antonio Cuenco, (Cebu City 2nd Dist., LAKAS), Jocelyn Sy-Limkaichong, Negros Oriental (1st Dist., LAKAS-CMD), George Arnaiz, (Negros Oriental 2nd Dist., NPC), and Henry Teves (Negros Oriental (3rd Dist., LAKAS) along militant lawmakers Luzviminda Ilagan and Liza Maza of Gabriela, Crispin Beltran of Anakpawis and Satur Ocampo of Bayan Muna.
