TACLOBAN CITY – Mayor Ramon Oñate of Palompon, Leyte has secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the attempt of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to excavate at DBSN Farms Agriventure Corp. that he owns in Barangay San Joaquin, Palompon.

In an order issued by Judge Dexter Aguilar of the Palompon Regional Regional Trial Court Branch 17 dated September 8, 2023, it stated that"the petitioner will suffer grave injustice and irreparable injury because of the blatant violation of its constitutional rights before the matter is heard."

"The burying of solid and hazardous waste is also a concern contained in the complaint of residents brought to the 4th District Representative Hon. Richard I. Gomez which leads to Congressional Inquiry," DENR-8 Executive Director Lormelyn Claudio said in her letter to Oñate on August 25, adding that they will coordinate with Oñate on to the exact date of the excavation which will be any day from September 6 to 8.
