CALABANGA, Camarines Sur, Nov. 24 – It may be an uphill battle but local leaders opposed to the proposed offshore magnetite exploration at the marine life-rich San Miguel Bay are standing their ground.
They fear massive environmental degradation and economic dislocation of thousands of fisher folk around the bay should the mining operations push through.
The mining would be initiated by Bogo Resources and Mining Corporation (BRMC), a Filipino-Korean firm.
