MANILA — Residents of a coastal community within the proposed location of a private international airport project claimed San Miguel Corporation (SMC) has offered them P250,000 each to leave their homes.
In an online statement, Save Taliptip said representatives from Ramon Ang’s corporation held a public consultation with some of the fisherfolk in Taliptip town, Bulakan last March 5.
Before the residents can get the cash offer, they need to tear down their houses themselves. An estimated 5,000 fisherfolk stand to lose livelihood and homes in SMC’s $14-million plus airport project.
