A Bacolod City Legal Office team dismantled 30 structures obstructing roads in Barangays 1 and 2, Bacolod City, Friday morning, Feb. 20.
Retired PCol. Levy Pangue, CLO enforcement team head, said owners of 30 houses and shops were given two-week notice to voluntarily remove parts of their structures blocking the roadside.
Of the 30 owners issued notices, only 15 voluntarily demolished their structures while 15 were demolished by the CLO Friday morning, he said.
Pangue added that 90 percent of the structures were cleared yesterday.
Two other shops asked for time to gather their belongings, which was given consideration by the CLO.
The CLO will return to the area Saturday to ensure that the road is totally cleared.
The Department of Public Works and Highways is going to build a drainage project in the area, which is why Pangue said it needs to be cleared.
Bacolod Mayor Greg Gasataya said that barangay captains may face administrative sanctions if the obstructions that have been cleared by the city return,*.
