Aurora Ecozone pushed by execs
>> Monday, January 24, 2011
BALER, Aurora – Popular support is gradually mounting for the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone (APECO) with governors, congressmen and economic development managers in Central Luzon and Northeastern Luzon pushing for the realization of the project which they said would produce an economic “domino effect” in their respective provinces.
The latest show of full support for the APECO has dwarfed criticisms mounted by militant groups and non-governmental organizations.
Sen. Edgardo Angara, architect of the APECO through legislative action in tandem with Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara and Governor Bellaflor Angara-Castillo, has stressed that APECO stands unique among the 200 economic zones in the country as it was built to be thoroughly sustainable and eco-friendly, with a one megawatt solar power plant that will generate electricity to 1,000 homes.

I am a native of Aurora province and i know who are the Angara's. They are the big mishaps of the province. they are the trapos who always play against the common enemy of the people, but once they got the position they will be the once who'll grab peoples money and resources. they are the ones sponsoring number of illegal and multinational loggers destroying the ecosystem of sierra madre. so it would be too difficult for us, the auroran's to think of their real intentions.
Ako ay mula sa Casiguran, Aurora na kung saan pilit na sakupin ng APECO o ng mga Angara ang buong northern Aurora. Sa ngayon si Mayor Briones ang kasama sa board. gusto nilang kunin ang Brgy. Diniog at Masagana pilang Parcel II ng APECO. Sa ayaw at sa gustong aminin ng mga Angara sila ang legal na mangangamkam ng lupa dahil ginagamit ang batas para kunin ang lupa ng maliliit na magsasaka at pangisdaan. Hanggang saan bingi at pikit ang mga kasama nina Sen Ed Angara, Congresman Sony Angra para di mapakinggan ang panawagan ng mga tao. Hanggat maaga sana mapigilan sila.
Maganda sana APECO kung idinaan sa legal na proseso - mayroong public consultation (dito sa casiguran), feasibilty studies, at higit sa lahat - wla sanang naaagawan ng lupa at hindi makakasira sa likas na kapaligiran. Ang pagkakaalam ko eh wala nito lahat ang APECO. Hindi rin ako naniniwala na umaani na ito ng maraming suporta sa mga tao - imposible!
