We have been overwhelmed by all the messages of support we have received, ranging from Europe to Latin America and now from Philippines. Please see the fb page of our friends at Tanjay Anti-Black Sand Mining Movement and their message below: “STOP BLACK SAND MINING IN TANJAY CITY The City Government of Tanjay, Negros Oriental, Philippines entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sino-Italy Constructions Philippines, Inc. for a dredging project at the mouth of Tanjay River yet at present they are now installing and ready to operate a Mineral Processing Plant for Magnetite Sand... Mining hidden under the skirt of dredging. Sad thing here is that an Environmental Compliance Certificate was issued by Department of Environment and Natural Resources of Region 7; yet no Environmental Impact Assessment was presented nor a public hearing was conducted prior to the issuance of the ECC. We all know that Mineral activities and operations necessarily carry with them various environmental, economic, social, and cultural impacts, which due to the nature of mining may be negative in many instances. We too are one with the statement and concerns of Save Rosia Montana UK support group that “A global problem requires a global solution. We are all fighting powerful corporations that work together for their own financial benefit, therefore we believe that we have a better change of stopping them by having all the communities affected by mining standing United!” https://facebook/TanjayAnti.BlackSandMining
