THINK REALLY, REALLY HARD! pull out a calculator or something. as for perla zulueta, she too was clearly uninformed. the very fact that she brought tv crews to the hearing about westwoods back in 2005 and got all dramatic just goes to show she was doing nothing more than casting for votes. i agree very much with the previous comment: read the papers and GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. the department of environment and natural resources, via a joint survey conducted by the land management bureau, has already released its report citing the squatters across dungon creek - and NOT henber - as the cause of the narrowing waterway. henber simply filled up part of its property as per its title and an approved plan dating back to 1909, citing that the dredging of dugnon creek and man-made structures across the same as the cause of its movement. i know this because i cross the bridge of westwoods everyday, and there is even a squatter occupying about half of the bottom of the bridge.
