Regional offices of the Departments of Environment and Public Works claim the construction of the Samal Island-Davao City (SIDC) Connector Bridge will not damage the coral reef ecosystem in Samal. This is not true.
A Facebook post made three untrue claims and one that needs context about the history and funding behind the Samal Island - Davao City (SIDC) Connector Bridge.
The sentiments of Samal residents have worried environmental groups and a family that has protected the island's reefs for years. The bridge construction will destroy corals and affect the pristine waters that make Samal beaches a favorite destination.
