(Nickel Mining in Surigao)
I don't quite understand how the government can just ignore this destruction that the mining companies are causing our environment, in our own land. Yes, most of the mining companies are foreign-owned, so it's not a big surprise for me to see images like this. Pero nak naman! Is our government blind??? Don't they have any concern for the
indigenous people's living in this part of the country that struggle for
the very life of their communities, their children? Don't they have any concerns for the next generation of this nation? Ano nalang ang aabutin nila kung sinisira na natin ang sa totoo lang ay dinatnan na natin dito? Lagi nalang bang pera?! pera?! pera?!
The government's always statement regarding this matter is that "it is for the national interests" but the question is "who's nation are we talking about?". Is this the nation of the people living in Luzon? The nation living in Metropolis? Is Surigao or Palawan not part of this nation?
(Blue skies and... is that blue sea water I'm seeing from afar?)
(Polluted water caused by mining)
Nasaan na ang daang matuwid mo PNoy? The way his administration works, it's look like they're more concern with foreign investments and giving all we have, yes! all we have than to safeguard the interests and the lives of our countrymen. What can I say? God save the Philippines
from its own government.
