which occurred in 2019. Technical personnel from this office were then able to conduct field
inspection to validate the said matter. Based on the Technical team’s assessment, it was
found out that said defects were evident on site and needed to be repaired in order to
prevent further damage to the buildings which likewise caused defects on the residential

beside the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) was recommended by the City Environmental
and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) of San Juan. Said recommendation was raised

that crossed and affect nearby houses.
