A `KAPAMILYA' of a Cagayan de Oro City official drew the ire of some concerned Lapasan residents who accused him of allegedly illegal reclamation activities in the area.

Businessman Conrad Lim was the subject of complaint by irate individuals who claimed that since last year, the son-in-law of Councilor Alfonso Goking had already converted some 1,000 square meters of adjacent land to his property.
Lim's so-called victims sought the help of City Councilor Teodulfo Lao who happened to have also served Lapasan for three consecutive terms as its chairman.

'Gusto na nila gubuton kini si Lim ug ako silang gitambagan nga dili kini maayo (They want to bring chaos upon Lim's doorsteps but I told them that this will not bode well for them),' Lao told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro Friday, adding that the affected residents have already consulted lawyers for the filing of proper charges in court.

'Conrad Lim has already reclaimed some 1,000 square meters of land adjacent to his property in our barangay. He has to be stopped,' Lao said in reiterating also the same sentiments aired by Engr. Tony Olango, concurrent chair of brgy. Lapas"
