Topic: Ayungon, Negros Oriental


In the News (Mon 28 May 12)

  
  DAILY STAR: Negros Oriental
The operation of Silica mining in Maaslum, Ayungon, Oriental Negros, was stopped and its offices closed on Monday, on orders of Gov. George Arnaiz, believed triggered by environmental concerns and hazards raised by local residents and barangay officials.
Arnaiz said, "It is a delicate art of balancing between the environmental concerns, the income of local government units concerned as well as the livelihood of almost 100 individuals." He is also believed to be thinking of putting up alternatives for the affected employees to include a reforestation project.
Ayungon Mayor Edsel Enardecido said the closure of the Silica mining operation in Ayungon is tantamount to cutting the supply of high-grade raw material for at least 10 big cement factories all over the country, as well as the income of residents.
