Lakbay Salamin, Silipin: Barangay Taganito, Claver, Surigao del Norte

My job entails a lot of traveling- mostly in the areas of Mindanao. Took this video last year and I just thought of putting some sort of bg music for it.

For people who don't reside there, this place is known to them as The Red Mountain. The land/soil is really close to bright red. It's really a sight!
The first time we passed by the place, there were still a lot of "red mountains" visible. The second time however, was really frustrating. Almost everything was just FLAT and lifeless.

Residents living nearby knew that something is going on. With all the big ships that were docked near the shores, they knew that the truckloads of land/soil were being transported to somewhere. They said, they all go to JAPAN.

So then one begins to wonder..

Kailan nagiging masama ang sibilisasyon at industriyalisasyon?

1.) Kapag ibang bansa ang nakikinabang sa yamang lupa ng bansa-- Makikita sa video ang mga barkong nakaantabay, naghihintay sa mga trak na siyang may dala ng lupang galing sa lugar (mas kilala bilang The Red Mountain)

2.) Kapag naging bulag at pipi ang mga tao sa mga kamaliang nakikita.

3.) Kapag umabot sa puntong nilalapastangan na ang kapaligiran kapalit ng ano? Modernong gusali? Beach resorts? -- Unang daan namin sa Brgy Taganito, di pa sementado ang mga daan, may mga pulang bundok ka pang makikita.. Subalit sa huling panhik namin, mabibilang mo na lang ang mga bundok, makikitang may may mga nagkaingin, at may dalawang piyer nang nagawa para sa mga barko..

--Props to Mr. Noel Cabangon's Nais Ko (BG music), it was your song Sir that first popped into my mind while taking the vid. Thank you.
