Monterazzas de Cebu: Why is Slater Young's choice of development site controversial? (www.rappler.com)

While Young’s project is intended to be environmentally sustainable, a large proportion of the development will be built near the Monterrazas de Cebu, a site whose developers twice received cease and desist orders from the Cebu City government due to the development possibly causing disasters to happen at the foot of the mountain.

Monterrazas is located a few kilometers away from the residential area of Guadalupe, the most populated barangay in Cebu City.

On April 15, 2008, then-Cebu City mayor Tommy Osmeña revoked the development permit of Landco Pacific Corporation after a mudslide hit at least 10 families in Guadalupe.
