People’s power is effective in this town when barangay officials and elders in the eastern barangays stormed and closed a refinery plant where the mine wastes contaminated with cyanide were dumped in a river that waters centuries old ricefields of the Kiltepan (Kilong-Antadao-Tetep-an) tribe here.
On July 7, elders and officials of the eastern barangays of Kilong, Tetep-an Sur, Tetep-an Norte and Antadao, went to the small scale mine in Pidlisan, a northern village of this town, and imposed a fine and closed a milling plant for the minewastes that pollute the waters of the river flowing downstream.http://www.nordis.net/?p=12985
