“Walang maaasahang alsyon mula sa mga pinuno ng bayan at probinsya dahil lagi nilang ipinapasa ang kilos o aksyon sa national agency dahil sila ay takot at walang kapasidad na gampanan ang kanilang tungkulin sa mga mamamayan bagkus sila mismo ang tumatayong tagapagtanggol at tagapagsalita ng minahan,” she said.
“We urge Secretary Yulo-Loyzaga to take action and visit the island for her to see the island personally and talk to the people,” he said. “Our company has secured all the necessary permits and licenses to lawfully and peacefully conduct our business in the area,” it said.“Our right to operate is as inviolable as the right to peaceful protest and assembly,” it added.
