These large-scale mining operations have been the subject of a controversy which is apparently the result of the coming up with House Bill No. 3667 or An Act Declaring the Province of Nueva Vizcaya a Mining-Free Zone which is now referred to the Senate for review.
“The bill is to prevent environmental destruction from the harsh effects of mining especially so that the province is considered as watershed area,” said Rep. Carlos Padilla of the lone district of Nueva Vizcaya who also sponsored said bill.
