Anti-mining advocates who have lamented the destruction of the environment because of the firm’s operation are calling for a final closure of the company as it has caused irreparable damages to the land, livelihood and the environment, they said. ............
"Even the indigenous people who worked, developed and protected those lands were displaced by the mining company, why do we still allow them to prevail? We lose our rights to use, to own and protect our lands," said Pacita Balinggan, the acting chairperson of Alliance of Multisectoral Group Against Mining in Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya.
