City officials, Asin folk meet on hydro dispute
By Aileen P. Refuerzo
BAGUIO CITY - The city government and members of the Tadiangan-Nangalisan Hydro Ancestral Landowners Association (TNHALA) agreed to explore solutions to their land problem under the court’s judicial dispute resolution program.
The city government early last month filed a criminal case against the association for grave coercion, unauthorized obstruction of river or waterways and obstruction of an irrigation canal after they its members allegedly diverted waster from the city-owned Asin Hydroelectric Plants that led to the shutdown of two of the three power plants.
But city administrator Peter Fianza said the operations resumed that same month after the first hearing of the case when both parties agreed to the mediation program where part of the agreement was that no disruption of the facility will be done.
Fianza said the association is now considering the city’s suggestion to submit a list of legitimate landowners affected by the operation of the hydro plants.
The list will be validated by the city and will be made as basis in conducting a survey of the entire area affected by the operation.
Afterwhich, both parties will sit down to discuss terms on the payment of the claims particularly the amount and the mode of payment.
Fianza said the city plans to include the payment of the claims in the terms of reference being drafted for the bidding of the operation of the facility.
Fianza said the city will pursue the privatization of the operation of the plants as per resolution of the city council.
He said the city has issued invitations for private firms to submit concepts for operation of the facility which will serve as basis for the TOR being prepared by the technical working group for Asin hydros.
