The destruction came to light on August 2 when authorities raided the site, allegedly run by a barangay official, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Northern Mindanao said. The MGB has not identified the official. Personnel from the MGB, backed by National Bureau of Investigation agents and Army soldiers, seized three excavators, 10 water pumps, hoses, sluice mats and boxes, a wooden pan, and a sack containing receipts and transaction logs that officials said linked the operation to the commercial sale of the materials.
Bago said the names of at least three barangay chairpersons in Cagayan de Oro had consistently surfaced in reports reaching his office, and alleged that Obsioma was a nephew of one of them. Nangcaon, a village of fewer than 1,000 people, or just about 1% of Opol’s population, sits more than 230 meters above sea level. It is bordered by the villages of Cauyonan, Limonda and Tingalan in Opol town, Cagayan de Oro’s hinterlands, and Calongonan in El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental.
