The difference between Bohol and Masungi

Second of 3 parts

WHAT is clearly established for now is that the private resorts in Bohol and Masungi are inside protected areas. It is also clear that they both claim to be inside privately titled properties. Facially, it can be admitted that the construction of resorts within protected areas appears to be a clear violation of Section 18 of Republic Act 11038, which amends Section 20 of RA 7586, specifically letter 'o' of the enumerated lists of prohibited acts.
