I have read that "Mining does not and will not affect agriculture, fishing and eco-tourism in Palawan."
For me, this was such a big lie because miners make used of explosive products or technologies that could get minerals from the underground which can be easily affected the ecosystem and can also destroys the natural ability of our nature. Of course, it will take several years to recover our resources and it would take more time to preserve again. And again, there is no such thing as responsible mining for me. :)
Every corresponding action, there is always a negative effect, so i do believe that human beings are the one who destroys the resources itself, and we can't blame other people for that because that's what they do for a living and the government itself can't do so much about this because of the poverty experiencing in the country. We cannot blame also the government because this activity had already happened "bago pa magpalit ng mga officials "whenever new government people takes place, so it will be very hard on their part for blaming them if that mining activities have been doing.. ever since.
