Philippine minister stands by call to shut mines
This is major political stuff.
I take my hat off to Gina Lopez who takes no nonsense when it comes to mines that scar the environment without care or compensation.
Good luck Gina

I invested once in a nickle mining venture run by a British company in southern Palawan..
It took 3 years to get permits to ship the ore..The process was incredibly painstaking and slow.
I was actually stunned by how strict the DENR and local government offices were and how excruciatingly difficult it was for responsible mining companies to obtain permits to mine legally.. For every tree cut,5 had to be planted..Schools,houses and hospitals were all part of a long term plan for local miners..
I didn't lose money but didn't make any either. (although it was close)..
Big mistake!! Never again.
I hope that every mine in the R.P is closed and never ever reopened..
Let the professionals in Aussie supply the Chinese!

I think most of the mines here are run by the British, we seem to be the biggest investors in the Philippines.

Hi all just arrived back from the phils. I visited Romblon island the marble capital of the philippines. I took the chance to visit a marble workshop there and I must say that compared to the health and safety over here it was something to be desired. The guys were working on big lathes for turning the marble down. There was no extractor fans. They were wearing no masks or safety glasses. The guys were hard working and very friendly. My point is this. If this workshop was anything to go by god knows what the safety in the mine was like. By the way beautiful island friendly people pristine beaches. Nice quaint town.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
