Mayor Aquino, is emphatic, though that the construction of said facilities should not compromise the natural beauty of the site. According to him, he had instructed the city’s engineers not to cut trees nor remove any stones, but to adjust the project design according to the terrain of the site, like what they did with the Malajog Ridge and Nature Park.
