PRODUCT OF MINING

Students make better use of their cellphones, which they said are products of mining, in capturing the mining audit documents which DENR Secretary Gina Lopez has made available for their scrutiny. The students, along with mine workers from Zambales, Benguet and Surigao trooped to the DENR on Monday, Feb. 13, to protest the issuance of closure orders to 23 mining operations for causing massive damage to the environment. Lopez also took the opportunity to announce that the public can access the mining audit results at the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.###
