GMA and DENR’s crimes against mother earth are assaults on human dignity

Protecting the earth is defending the right to life of the people. To ravage and desecrate mother earth is an assault on human dignity.

The Arroyo administration has perpetrated a crime against mother earth and the people by opening the doors for greedy large-scale mining companies to ravage our mountains, rivers, farmers and our indigenous peoples for the sake of profit.   While she and her cohorts in the government especially in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) are profiting in the guise of national development, large foreign and local companies continue to abuse not only our natural resources but our peoples’ human dignity while we suffer in poverty, indignity and natural disasters.

As guardians of the earth, the Indigenous peoples were mostly harassed and forced away from their sacred lands.  Their sources of subsistence destroyed, their homes burnt and they were stripped of their dignity and right to life.

The Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center (LRC-KsK) Luzon Regional Office
in cooperation with Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates (PAHRA),
Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP)
and Alyansa Tigil Mina (ATM)

invite you to forum on Marinduque Marcopper Mining Disaster Legacy

dubbed as

“Marinduque Continuing Quest for Justice”

One of the active cases filed against Marcopper, in the Barangays of Magapua and Bocboc in the municipality of Mogpog, 60 residents currently seek to claim damages from Marcopper Mining, after the Maguila-guila siltation dam broke at the height of a typhoon in 1993, causing a flood of mine tailings and toxic effluent that washed away their fields and homes. Even today, almost 17 years after the disaster, the tailings-laden soil cannot sustain their crops, and contact with the waters of the Mogpog River causes skin lesions and rashes.  The residents filed a civil case against Marcopper Mining in 2001, but this has yet to see resolution. Today more than half of the plaintiffs are in their 50s and one-third are already in their 70s and 80s.

Speakers: 4 Victims from Mogpog, Marinduque (including Rita Muhi Natal),
Atty. Minerva Quintela (lead counsel of the plaintiffs)
Ronald Gregorio of LRC-Luzon and Jaybee Garganera of ATM
