"Well sa mga pinakita sa mga video ito ay talagang sa totoo lang nakakasama ng loob kasi ito ay heritage eh pinagmamalaki sa buong mundo. Iba ang pakiramdam at iniimbestigahan din natin hindi lang 'yan kundi 'yung ibang lugar sa Bohol," DILG chief Benhur Abalos III said in an interview with Teleradyo Serbisyo. 

(Well, based on the videos we've watched, it's disheartening because this is a heritage site that we're proud to show the world. We're also investigating not just this but also other places in Bohol.) 

DILG recently formed a task force - which consists of lawyers and an environmentalist, that will investigate how a resort was built in the UNESCO heritage site.

Abalos said they are also trying to summon Mayor Restituto Suarez III, and request for documents from the local government unit so they can get to the bottom of the incident. 

"Para makuha lahat ng dokumento tungkol dito at ang findings. Kung wala silang kasalanan, wala akong problema pero kung meron, isasampa sa Office of the Ombudsman," he said.

(This is for us to acquire appropriate documents so we investigate the incident properly. But if there are lapses, we will file them before the Office of the Ombudsman.)
