	Canadian Transnational Dumps Waste, Responsibility in Marinduque
		Three years of hardship have initiated residents of the municipality of Boac into a wretched fellowship with residents of the neighboring municipalities of Mogpog and Santa Cruz, where 30 years of irresponsible mining under the management of Canadian mining giant Placer Dome have left a legacy of environmental contamination, loss of livelihood, and health concerns.
		Although it held only 40 percent of Marcopper shares, it was responsible for the day-to-day and technical operations of the company's mines; in exchange for securing and guaranteeing the loans needed to finance these mines, Placer Dome had been guaranteed the two top management positions.
		One probable reason why STD is being pushed by Placer Dome in Marinduque is because the method is relatively among the cheapest to do.

		But though we welcome Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Elisea Gozun's seemingly supportive stance to this exercise, we are wary of her stand in support of the National Minerals Policy (NMP) toward the revitalization of the much-beleaguered mining industry.
		The shortsightedness of past administrations, which allowed partly Canadian-owned Marcopper-Placer Dome to operate in the island of Marinduque for almost 30 years, has led to the environmental devastation and continuing social and ecological ills of its affected communities, particularly in the towns of Mogpog, Santa Cruz and Boac.
		That funding would have to come from the presidential social fund also underscores the lack of accountability of foreign companies and the lack of political will of the government to hold them liable in doing unmitigated hazardous activities of extracting resources from our communities.

		With the backing and encouragement of MiningWatch Canada, Marinduque Provincial Governor Carmencita Reyes filed a lawsuit accusing Placer Dome of damaging the environment and health of residents in the March 1996 environmental accident that sent million of tons of copper mine waste down a river to the Marinduque Capital.
		While Placer Dome has quietly negotiated for years with Reyes and other officials concerning a settlement regarding the Marcopper tailings spill, Reyes chose to sue Placer in a Clark County state court in Las Vegas, in southern Nevada, despite the fact most mining cases are usually filed in northern Nevada courtrooms.
		The litigation concludes by asking the Nevada lower court to order Vancouver, BC-based Placer Dome to complete the environmental clean-up of the affected areas of Marinduque in the Philippines, and also to order Placer Dome to create and adequately fund environmental and medical monitoring funds in the Philippines.
