Philex still needs to clean up, pay compensation – indigenous peoples

The group demanded that Philex be made to pay “just compensation to affected communities, including the downstream communities in Pangasinan.”

“Philex should take responsibility for the adverse effects of its operations in Itogon and Tuba (towns of Benguet) and in the communities downstream of Agno River. The communities of San Manuel, San Felipe East, and San Felipe West were also severely affected by the mine spill, and by the protracted effects of the five-decade mine operations,” Malayao said.
