Cebu City Council defers DMCI Homes' tree removal request in Guadalupe
What happened
The Cebu City Council deferred an application by DMCI Homes to cut down 17 trees and relocate 21 others along Good Shepherd Road in Barangay Guadalupe. The request was intended to make way for a building project. Councilor Sisinio Andales opposed the proposal, warning that further tree removal could worsen the city’s environmental conditions.
