  • Mines and Communities: Philippines: Potential New
    MAC: Mines and Communities Home | Companies | Countries | Minerals | Links | Search | About Us | Espanol | Themes Women Workers China Money Law Small Scale Mining Climate Change Search for Contact Us Whats New Donate New Users Philippines: Potential new policies, but same old stories Published Date: 30-11-2011 Source: Intercontinental Cry, Inquirer, Manila Times, etal Source Date: 28-11-2011 Although direct human rights abuses, related to Philippines mining, are less in the news than in our recent post (Philippines: Where is the safety?), the issue certainly hasn't gone away. There has been another armed attack on Xstrata's Tampakan mine, allegedly by "bandits" - actually community members who feel they have had no choice but to defend their lands. (At least the company is no longer blaming every attack on communist extortionists). Benguet Corp. is offering to build "small but heavily-fortified police stations" in order to improve the peace & order situation in far flung areas (where the mining companies operate). Also, one mine worker has been assassinated at Australia's Medusa Mining operations, and another died in an accident at the mine-site. Palawan demonstration against Chinese investors on 10 November 2011. Source: ALDAW Indigenous peoples on Palawan continue to voice their opposition to mining. There have been new accusations of false representation, and protests at the Chinese company Jinchuan's proposed financial support for MacroAsia's contentious project. Meanwhile, the protest movement has gathered over three million signatures to its petition to stop mining on Palawan (see: http://no2mininginpalawan.com/). A leak has developed at a dam control tunnel supposed to contain pollution from the abandoned Marcopper mining site - thus reminding us of the consequences of generally poor environmental performance in the Philippines.

The spelling of the personal names in this directory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Government agencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference for alternate spellings of their names.
