The almost finished construction of two Korean condominium buildings in the middle of the protected rainforest of Subic is really out of tune! Subic authorities should have exercised diligence before it allowed the construction. The Subic rainforest is not only an environmental concern but it is somethimg which forms part of the country's natural heritage which deserves to be protected.
In conserving a natural heritage such as the Subic rainforest, it is not enough that the trees are protected from being cut. It's natural beauty and integrity must not be compromised. It's VISTA (view) must not be blocked or interfered. What happened in Subic is a great disrespect to the Philippines' rich legacy. Inviting investors to do business in our country is good but pleasing investors at the expense of our NATURAL HERITAGE is unforgivable. Subic authorities should engage the services of conservation advocates to have a better understanding of environmental protection.
