Maria Cristina Falls Public Viewing Suspended Due to Landslides

 

The Agus 6 & 7 Hydroelectric Power Plant Complex (HPPC) Management has announced the temporary suspension of public viewing at the Maria Cristina Falls due to the ongoing risk of landslides.

The landslides occurred on April 19, 2022, along the Agus 6 Agus 7 road, which is the same road leading to the falls. The landslides were caused by the constant rains that saturated the ground and caused it to collapse. Since then, there have been several incidents of falling rocks and debris, the most recent of which occurred on January 13, 2023.

As part of its watershed protection and rehabilitation efforts, the National Power Corporation strengthens measures and taps local organizations to prevent forest fires in Benguet mountains. Through its Upper Agno River Watershed Area Team (UARWAT), the corporation conducted a second consultation among Bokod and Itogon stakeholders to finalize the Forest Fire Management Plan and discuss the technical cooperation plans between NPC-UARWAT and SN Aboitiz Power – Benguet, Inc. (SNAPBI).

Participants included barangay officials, SNAPBI officers, representatives of indigenous people’s organizations, Ambuklao Patrol Base of the Philippine Army, and NPC officials.

The consultation, being an integral part of implementing programs in the area, led to valuable suggestions from the elders on how to educate people better on the negative effects of forest fires and in making more effective information and education campaign materials.

SNAPBI also expressed its willingness to provide assistance in implementing the Plan and in partnering with NPC in protecting the watershed reservation.

Meanwhile, to inculcate the value of forest protection in young minds, UARWAT has organized school-based IEC campaigns in Bokod, Benguet.

On March 21, UARWAT in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection held a learning session on forest fire, fire safety, and suppression with the teachers and students of Bokod National Highschool.

On March 28, UARWAT held another learning session suited for younger children to cater to the grade school pupils of Kawal Elementary School.

NPC believes that the youth can be effective agents of forest and biodiversity protection.

NPC-UARWAT has also joined the local government’s activities to celebrate Fire Prevention Month, particularly in the kick-off motorcade and the culminating activity of constructing a fireline at the Ambuklao communal forest.

Upper Agno River Watershed, one of the 11 watershed areas managed by NPC, is categorized as a critical watershed and protected area. It covers a total area of 123,000 hectares and falls within the territories of Benguet, Mountain Province, and Nueva Vizcaya.
