According to Cascolan, representatives of Sibuyan CSO, on the other hand, will serve as “eye-witnesses” overseeing the company’s mining-related activities within the island.Following the agreement, Cascolan said that AMPC is currently in its “exploration stage” and has yet to file the necessary permit to the government agencies concerned before proceeding to its “operational stage.”
Also, in this stage, the AMPC officer said that the company has already allocated a 10 percent contribution from its budget, which amounts to not less than P10 million.On January 31, residents of Sibuyan Island, Romblon, set up a human barricade to stop what they believe to be illegal mining operations in the area, according to Alyansa Tigil Mina .
For their part, representatives of the Sibuyan-CSO urge other groups to join them in their initiatives towards the province’s development.“Nanawagan ako sa lahat ng farmers at lahat ng organized association at cooperative sa Sibuyan Island na tayo po ay magsama sama sa development and kaunlaran,” Ramoncito Gubaton, one of Sibuyan Island-CSO representatives said.
Last February 7, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources ordered AMPC to cease and desist mining operations, suspended its ore transport permit, and denied its application for a miscellaneous lease agreement after the anti-mining protests.
