A temporary Restraining Order was issued by a local court in Brooke’s Point, Palawan against an ongoing protest on the operation of the Ipilan Mining Corporation in the municipality.
The TRO, essentially, prohibits the protesters from stopping, apprehending, searching, obstructing, or even approaching miners entering or exiting the mine using the access roads in the area. “As a good corporate citizen, we are complying with legal procedures and exploring all lawful and peaceful options against the threats and intimidation tactics used by propagandists and saboteurs,” he added.
INC currently provides employment to over 1,500 workers, wherein 90 percent are residents of Brooke’s Point. To recall, on March 7, various groups led by the Alyansa Tigil Mina marched to the DENR grounds under the banner “Barikada ng Mamamayan” to call on Secretary Ma. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga to cancel the mining contracts that allegedly continue to ravage communities and destroy the environment.
