SECOND District Rep. Mark Cojuangco has called on the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) over what he called extraordinary flood that occurred along the Romulo Highway in  Barangays Cayanga and Bolaoen in  Bugallon.

Residents of these two barangays pointed to the ongoing development of solar power farms covering hundreds of hectares of mountain lands in Bugallon as the reason for these floods. Cojuangco said the DENR did not foresee the flooding that could come when it issued the Environmental Compliance Certificate to the company building the solar power farm. (Jam Victorio)
