Bearing flowers, fruits, seafood, and crafts from what they described as “mining sites of struggles,” environmental and anti-mining groups under the Alyansa Tigil Mina on Monday trooped to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and appealed to the new environmental agency to implement the group’s “First 100 Days Agenda.”
“We are here on the day of the SONA to show our openness to work with the new DENR Secretary in order to advance the cause of mining communities against destructive mining,” Jaybee Garganera, ATM National Coordinator said. Malou Verano from Aroroy, Masbate, and a member of ATM’s Women and Mining Working Group said, “It is time that the mining industry is rationalized and that the ban on open-pit mining be again enforced.”
