At the 20th anniversary of "Maalala Mo Kaya" premiere of "Palawan", ABS-CBN Foundation managing director Gina Lopez said that "In this country, for some reason, what moves and makes it happen is People Power." She is referring to the 10-million signature campaign that would convince the Philippine government to finally say no to mining in Palawan.
She emphasizes that she is not against mining industry in the Philippines. There are certain key biodiversity areas in the country that shouldn't and must never be mined. She cited specifically the islands.
Defining islands as "where you have a mountain, forest, coral reefs, mangroves and farmlands. It's not large tracts of land like Canada or Australia where if you have an accident when you mine, no one will suffer. In islands like Palawan, Rapu rapu, Manikanin and all these other islands..if you have one accident, it goes to the ricefields [destroy farmlands], goes to the sea and kill the coral reef
.. what we want is to have certain areas in the country as No Go Zones, please don't mind there because tourism and agriculture is much better. The way it is now, you can mine everywhere."
The No2MininginPalawan Movement is a multi-sectoral alliance of different concerned civic groups to raise awareness and to stop current and upcoming mining activities in Palawan and in other key biodiversity areas in the Philippines.
