Bishop joins march against Surigao mining
May 4, 2009CANTILLAN, Surigao del Sur, April 29, 2009—During the recent celebration of World Earth Day, more than 1,000 residents from various towns and sectors of Surigao del Sur joined a three-kilometer march at the heart of this town to condemn mining operations in the area.
CBCP Vice President and Tandag bishop Nereo P. Odchimar joined the march and presided over the concelebrated mass held after the march.
The mining operations have threatened watersheds providing critical support to the province’s irrigation system, water supply and Cantilan’s proposed mini-hydro power project. To top it all, the proposed mining sites infringe upon the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands. VIEW FULL ARTICLE>>

nice naman ng lugar natin..

Anti-mining ako!
- carcanmadcarlan:
Mga hakug and mga elected officials na pro-mining. More than 90% of Carrascalanons who work for the mine make less than the minimum(poverty) wage. So Carrascalanons are not really benefiting from mining because they are still poor. I hope bad KARMA will get those greedy elected officials.

nurturing mother nature starts within ourselves, its not pro or anti or whatever….. have you ask yourself??? what have you done to preserve mother nature???do not put all the blame on issues like stopping the mining or what, the issue was just a year ago but protecting our environment(as we all claim) was an issue a long time ago…WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? kusug lam ta mag yaw-yaw pero an ato basura hain man???

kahit na po hindi ako kabilang sa lugar ninyo at hindi ko po naiintindihan ang salita ninyo, noong nabasa at nakita ko po ang mga comments at pictures na nilagay niyo sa page na ito ay bigla na lang para bang may kumurot sa puso ko..
isa po akong studyante dito sa manila,at ang kurso ko po ay business management,hindi ko po alam kung bakit nangingi alam ako sa problema ng bayan ninyo,marahil dahil isa rin po akong pilipino at kabilang po ako sa mundong kinabibilangan din ninyo,
lahat po tayo dito ay nilikha lang,ibig sabihin po ay lahat po ng nandito sa mundo ay hindi po tayo ang nag mamay ari kahit sabihin pa po natin na may kapirasong papel po tayong pinanghahawakan na nag papatunay na pag mamay ari natin ang akala nating sa atin.lahat po ng nabubuhay po sa mundo ay pinahiram lang po sa atin ng kung sino man ang maylikha,ibig pong sabihin dapat po nating alagaan at pahalagahan sapagkat itoy hiram lang,,kasama na po ang mga mahal natin sa buhay.
kung totoo pong may malasakit kayo sa kalikasan at sa kapwa nyo sana po ay maunawaan ninyo ang nais kung iparating sa inyo.,
hindi po ako against sa mga plano ng bayan ninyo na umunlad kagaya ng ibang bayan,ngunit maraming mga paraan para umunlad ang ekonomiya at makapag bigay ng trabaho sa mga kababayan natin,.hindi po yaong pagsira ng ating kalikasan,.
alam ko po na ang pag unlad po ng isang bayan ay hindi po nagagawa sa isang iglap lamang katulad ng kisap mata kundi ito ay dahan dahan na may kasamang kooperasyon at pagkakaisa ng bawat isa.
naiintindihan ko po na ang pag mimina ay isa sa pinaka mabilis na paraan para kumita at mag ka trabaho pero nasisira naman po natin ang ating kalikasan,kahit pa po sabihin natin na may mga sinusunod tayong mga rules and regulation..ang maapektuhan po nito ay iyong mga maliliit na naninirahan sa malapit sa kung saan may operation.,
Sana po ay wag nyong ipag sawalang bahala yong Bagyong ONDOY kahit na po hindi nyo naranasan..nakita niyo naman po siguro sa balita..
yon lang po salamat sa space at GOD Bless Us..

- wala:
why all the basura? the cantilanons being environmentalists should be aware that the leachate of all these garbage would affect the water table… recycling should be imposed…
