An infrastructure-oriented think tank has urged President Rodrigo Duterte to decisively clamp down on erring mining firms which had ‘destroyed the environment and compromised our resources.’
“The President need not look too far, as the DENR already has a standing list of erring mining companies which, according to the President’s SONA ‘destroyed the environment and compromised our resources.’” This was the statement of Terry Ridon, convenor of Infrawatch PH and former urban poor chief of Mr Duterte.
Ridon said the President only needs to revisit the listed created by former DENR Secretary Gina Lopez and determine whether the mining companies in the list had already undertaken measures to protect the environment and contribute to what the President has said as ‘what needs to be given to my countrymen.’
“It should be made clear that the President made no distinction on who irresponsible miners are: whether large-scale or small-scale mining, the policy direction of the President is to preserve the environment and contribute to what the people truly deserve. Anyone operating less than this standard should be shutdown and have its licenses revoked.”You can cheap levitra online http://appalachianmagazine.com/2017/04/10/state-of-texas-appalachias-creation/ consume avocado to improve sex hormones naturally.

Ridon said more than the payment of taxes, mining companies should also determine whether their activities are truly acceptable to communities within their mining areas.
“We have heard many times over the repeated complaints indigenous communities being displaced from their homes and farms in order to accommodate mining concessions. Consistent with the President’s pronouncements, the people’s lives should be front and center in any policy related to mining activities.”
