Hundreds of environmental volunteers and conservationists gather at the newly launched 'Masungi Defense Camp' to tie bells to the fence of Masungi Georeserve and walk in solidarity against possible eviction of the site's developer, Blue Star Construction & Development Corp., before the notice issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources lapsed on April 1, 2025. The eviction and cancellation notice was issued after Blue Star allegedly failed to deliver 5,000 housing units under the Supplemental Joint Venture Agreement. Blue Star said it was the DENR that failed to clear the sites of illegal occupants and claimants, which prohibited the developer from complying with its project deadline.
