MOTION TO WITHDRAW PROTEST

COMES NOW, the NATIONAL IRRIGATION


ADMINISTRATION (NIA) Region 6, as Protestant through its
undersigned counsel, most respectfully states that:

1. At the onset, Protestant received the Water Permit


Application of CYRIL L. TAMARION., dated February 8, 2018 last
March 15, 2018. No exact coordinates were indicated in the location
of its diversion point and only stating Aganan River; Brgy.
Talongadian, 5025 San Miguel Iloilo as its source/location thus,
Protestant was prompted to file its water protest;

2. However, it was only during the Preliminary Conference


held last November 14, 2018 that Protestant was clarified of the exact
location of Applicant’s extraction point particularly described as
follows: Latitude 10° 46’ 56.54” N, Longitude: 122° 29’ 49.70” E;

3. A perusal of NIA Region 6’s Aganan Dam’s diversion


point which is described as follows: Latitude: 10° 46’ 47.22” N,
Longitude: 122° 27’ 5.13” E, would indicate that the Applicant’s point

1
of extraction is located downstream of Protestant’s coordinates.
Moreover, the diversion point of Applicant is located at a
considerable distance of more or less 6 kilometers from NIA’s
diversion point;

4. Considering that there are no existing projects by NIA


Region 6 located downstream of the diversion point, the considerable
distance of the two diversion points, and the fact that the extraction
point of the Applicant is located downstream of the Aganan Dam, the
proposed application of Applicant would not thereby necessarily
hamper NIA’s service areas;

5. In view of all the foregoing, the Protestant, NATIONAL


IRRIGATION ADMINISTRATION Region 6, hereby withdraws its
Water Protest against Applicant CYRIL L. TAMARION.

WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed that an order be


issued confirming the withdrawal of the Water Protest by
NATIONAL IRRIGATION ADMINISTRATION Region 6 against
CYRIL L. TAMARION in the above-entitled case.

Iloilo City for Quezon City. December 5, 2018.
