The Arroyo administration’s policy on mining has negatively affected not only the environment but also basic human rights and the right to public participation. Environmental safeguards remain hazy and watered down at best, while state protection for the rights of environmental and natural resource advocates remains noncommittal.

Impact of Mining: Beyond the Occupational Health and Safety Orbit

Mining in the Philippines is meant for foreign demand to natural resources. Under the Mining Act of 1995, foreign mining companies are allowed 100% repatriation of capital. Resources extracted in the Philippines are never used for domestic consumption.

Development? For whom?

dagdag pa tabi sa sinabi ni Mr QUIMPO,

The Arroyo administration’s mining liberalization policy has resulted in an array of negative impacts, ranging from dubious and scant economic benefits to environmental degradation to human rights violations. Yet it stubbornly insists that its mining policy has contributed to development. We ask: Development? For whom?

Development para sana sa mga trabo. mayaman sinda para sa mga lagay. baging sa ZTE" may 200 ka dito".haha pero kung para sa mga orginaryong tayo like para sila, para uma, mawawalan tabi sinda ning kabuhayan. ang daming negative effect. ngata ta dae na sana kita pagkasararo para sa pagkontra kang minang an.pero igwa pa man ning mga tawo na gapabor jan sa mina. mga pro-develop daa sinda ta ngata kita mga anti mining sana kita.
