Loyzaga added DENR undertakes compliance review process, involves taking a look at environment compliance certificate and area clearances of project.
DENR agency also conducts cumulative impact assessment, scientific analysis needed to determine effect of projects in terms of fulfillment of its mandamus order as lead implementing agency.
"So what we are able to do is evaluate and assess compliance…we do not suspend, we do not lift suspension , matter for PRA,Philippine Reclamation Authority," Loyzaga said.
