There were already accidents of landslides in Caraga Region but the corrupt media in Caraga Region did not reported it because corrupt Philippine Information Agency (PIA) is covering up the incident in cahoots with PNP animosities who usually released the informations.

I think it was ben Serrano who reported about that incident in Tubay, Agusan del Norte where there were six people killed including a pregnant woman.

Ito is Ben Serrano pinag-iinitan ito ng mga kasamahan nyang media sa Butuan na puro mga kurakot kasi nagsusualt siya ng totoo.

Shame on this pseudo media in caraga region like the arrogant Trini Ladringan of ABS-CBN Caraga who do not even how to interview.

These Bombo People my God they are so corrupt.

Sa Surigao City hesus maryosep wala rin.

Sana magbago na kayo hoyyyy!

Mabuhay ka Ben Serrano ipagpatuloy mo yan nasa likod mo kami!

Yes this also happens true in Barangay Del Pilar in Cabadbaran City where there were three people killed due landslide inside a crude mining area last year.

It was not also reported by corrupt Caraga media.

In fact the group of block timer Junjie Esconia of DXMK FM, manigbasay Louie Oranda, Tigbas boys radio commentators Noli Ebarle of Love Radio FM, Godl Star Star Daily Obet Samonte son of notorious Pat Samonte, Bombo Radyo Rey Brangan who are now involved in Tony Consing of Surigao City led spin doctors of Mracventures Mining behind getting air time of HOt FM Cantilan to defend to the max Mario Vijungco et al were also the same personalities in cover up of disastrous mining SR Metals in Tubay, Agusan del Norte.

Shame on this people!

Luoy si Ben Serrano siya lang mag-isa tabangan aning mga buwaya sa media!

ben serrano should be cited for his bravery and for being a sincere mediaman. he doesnt care for the big names involved in his article especially the pimentel’s and pichay’s in surigao sur. i grew up in ccmcl but migrated in ncr since my high school days and since then, wala pang kagaya kay Ben Serrano na nagsisiwalat ng mga balita especially the real issues of what is happening now in ccmcl. Come on PIA cantilan, havent read yet any article tackling about the mining issues sa ato lugar. I also learned na yang HOT FM in cantilan, basta mining issue na ang pinaguusapan ay takot na raw. no ba yan, nauno na mga kababayan.

Yes but Ben Serrano is also fair with his presentation of his news items. I read his articles at pna.gov.ph fair talaga siya sa lahat ng parties involved.

He wanted to get all side the present to the readers.

He is good because jourmalism is all like that not judgmental. he should also be cited for his being fair in treating the news.

He names the officials of course because it is necessary to the story really this Ben Serrano is one of a kind.

Salamat sa iyo Ben dahil sa iyo nakita naminn may pag-asa ang caraga region!

Can Butch Pichay sleep neither his conscience shaken when right at his doorstep at his hometown there is danger to lose the very source of water (watershed) if nickel mining starts at Barangay Cabangahan?

Vijungco was saying that he will protect the area daw because he need the water more than the irrigators do? If that is the case , Is Vijungco to put on the line all his wealth or even his life if the promise will not be fulfilled.

The truth is Philippine politicians are willing to sacrifice the environment for their ambition’s sake. The harsh reality is that because our brand of politics are money based especially here in Caraga Region, our beloved politicians are willing to sell everything even their soul to earn money to buy votes.

Believe me Vijungco will support local politicians this 2010 elections to get all protections he wanted for his business interests.

And since our politics and even people of Cantilan are generally up for money not of principles politics and politics for good governance, money will always be a come on that the caused of the local environmentalist groups lead by Emma Hotchkiss, Dr. Olan and Tinty Irriberi.

Win or lost on their cause at least they had tried to protect the good old, historic Carac-an River.

DENR and MGB’s Alilio Ensomo’s promise that theirs is for responsible mining are full of lies, the harsh reality is corruption make our government institutions a weakling and mere decorations on the rotten wall.
