PHThe Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has confirmed that no environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been conducted yet for the proposed Pax Silica hub in Tarlac. The project, which involves the establishment of a silica sand processing facility, has raised concerns among local communities and environmental groups regarding potential ecological damage. The absence of an EIA has sparked calls for greater transparency and regulatory oversight. Local officials and activists are urging the DENR to expedite the process to ensure that environmental safeguards are properly implemented before construction begins.
