Mining is the main driver of conflicts in the Philippines.
Most notably, Philippine soldiers shot and killed anti-mining activist Juvy Capion, her two sons and a 15-year-old boy who had been blocking the entrance of a gold and copper mine owned by Sagitarrius Mining Inc. in Mindanao in 2012.
Capion and her husband Daguil had declared a “tribal war” against the project. The military called it a legitimate operation.
