Resort owners and residents said a demolition team, escorted by heavily armed men, tore down the walls of beach resorts last June 12  and placed wooden barricades at the start of a two-kilometer stretch of the main barangay road.


"The presence of the armed men alone is already a rebuke of Secretary Gordon," they said.
