This led to the dispersal of the 29-manned barricade and the arrest of anti-mining advocate Roland Pulido, chairman of Didipio Earth Savers’ Movement Association . They added that they were able to get approval from Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, and the Office of the President to deliver the fuel, as well as an order from the Department of the Interior and Local Government to break up the barricade.The local government unit of Barangay Dipidio, however, has not allowed any of the fuel delivery to pass through the blockade.
This came after the expiration of the mining firm’s 25-year Financial Technical Assistance Agreement on June 20, 2019. According to ANVIK, OceanaGold Philippines has attempted to bring their fuel tanks to the mining site at least 6 times in March, despite pending renewal of its FTAA.
