Pens not swords
Survival
International, a
global
organisation
supporting tribal
peoples, has launched a
letter campaign
to prevent the
devastation of the
lands of the Igorot
tribals in the
northern
Philippines. Open
cast
mining in the
lgorots' lands has
already destroyed
many of their rice
terraces.
According to the new
code, private companies would
have the right
to displace and
resettle people within their mining
areas. The people are
to write to the
speaker of the
Philippine house of
representatives
and the secretary of
the department
of environment,
asking for the mining code to be
repealed. 12jav.net12jav.net
