Provincial authorities on Thursday said financiers of illegal mining activities in Zamboanga del Sur’s Bayog town must be held accountable for destruction of environment, violations of human rights and for failing to pay revenues derived from decades of gold mining operations.........
“The governor is really concerned with the environment. He wants Balabag’s waterways to be cleaned-up immediately because these have been polluted with toxic chemicals. The soil and water ecosystem must be inspected while reforestation should takes place to replenish the logged-out forests of Balabag hills,” Padayhag said.
