The management of the controversial Captain’s Peak in Bohol demanded fairness on the possible investigation they might face for building an infrastructure around the iconic Chocolate Hills.
In an interview, Captain’s Peak manager, Julieta Sablas said that other resorts built around Chocolate Hills could be considered worse than their resort.
“Meron pa pong maglala dito,” Sablas said. “Hindi ko na i-mention ang resort, pero kayo na ang mag imbestiga,” she said.
“Ang gusto ko ‘yung mag-iinvestigate hindi lang sa video… Sana andito po sila para makita nila [ng personal],” she added.
Sablas might be referring to Sagbayan Peak in Sagbayan Town and Bud Agta in Carmen Town, who, according to her, were older than Captain’s Peak.
“When you are ordinary people in this business parang pinapahirapan po nila kami na mag-comply ng certificates po,” she stated.
Meanwhile, Senator Nancy Binay called for an inquiry on the current issue, saying that she would also call the representatives of Sagbayan Peak and Bud Agta and not just Captain’s Peak.
“It was reported that during the inspection conducted by the provincial board, it was found that Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort built cottages and water slides for a swimming pool at the foot or sides of at least three hills and that PAMB failed to full explain why it allowed the resort to use at least 20 percent portion of the Chocolate Hills,” she said.
