In Homonhon, Peng Cheng, has been claiming lands, including farms of poor farmers. Homonhon mining is not an isolated case, as we can see. The ZTE Broadband deal is actually one of its siblings. If youre from Eastern Samar and you notice some Chinese sight-seeing with your local government officials, as in the case of Mayor Annaliz Kwan of Guiuan, be afraid. Be very afraid.

The new mining company in Homonhon is owned by a Chinese Steel Corpotation known as Peng Cheng. This is actually a product of the Early Harvest Program - a treaty between the Phil. gov't and the People's Republic of China in which the latter will bring in investments and loans to our country. In exchange, our gov't will allow the Chinese to utilize up to 2 million hectars of our public lands, plus our seas, for 25 years. Eastern Samar is one of this treaty's priority areas...

ngayon kung wala sa eleksyon ang susi sa pagbabago,well chose what is appropriate.. di ko naman sinasabi na mali ang mga nakapost pero naman, the key is in your hand not on your mayor nor governor.

paumanhin mga kababayan,tutuo naman na problema talaga yan. kaya lang ang tanung ko lang naman anu naman ang ginawa ninyo para matapos ang problema na gaya nyan?? pag dumadating ang panahon para makapamili kayo ng bagong lider na mamumuno sa inyo anu ang ginagawa nyo? di ba binebenta nyo ang boto nyo? kung meron mang di nagbebenta ilan lang yan. ngayon kung gusto nyo magbago ang kalagayan nyo kailangan nyong kumilos wag magbenta ng boto para may moral ground kayo sa pagrereklamo..

People of Hamonhon and Manicani the election is coming, make sure in YOUR ballot instead of putting your candidate put "NO MINING." Don't sell your vote because the money will be spent in a day, But the damage of the mining will cost for a lifetime.

Brothers and Sisters !! walang lugar na naging mayaman, naging progresibo og naging healthy dahil sa pag mimina.. it always- end up to TRAGEDY! ang nag kamal ng salapi ay ang mining company and those people in the community who are behind that lalo na ang mga government officials na nag bigay permit to mag operate. pag katapos masisip ang natural na yaman ,, kayoy iiwan na naka tunga-nga!!!at dadamhin nyo ang epicto ng ginawa nila.

About your comment that the people of Homonhon are getting some money for that mining the people of Homonhon are not. Maybe you and local government get money from that mining or your family and that's probably the reason you want the people of Homonhon to stop complaining. Shame on you and people like you

[zenny63]

The people before really don't know about the mining, not like now that the new generation is more knowledgeable. They have more access to a cell phone and TV and see the damage that the mining does to our place. .

Its the price we pay for those generous amount of loans extended to us by the chinese government (and god knows how these loans had really been spent.)
