Marinduque's MACEC continues to demand environmental justice

MACEC in Anti-Mining Solidarity Action

The Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (COMP) is currently holding International Mining Conference held at Solaire Resort & Casino Manila to boost the mining industry.

Parallel to this, the Alyansa Tigil-Mina (ATM) is conducting a mining solidarity hell week, a one week long anti-mining campaign along with their partner and member organizations in the Philippines including Marinduque's MACEC.

MACEC is currently doing a series of anti-mining solidarity actions to demand justice for the environment and for the people affected by the irresponsible mining in Marinduque. We also demand to declare the entire province of Marinduque as a “no go zone” for mining for both large and small scale mining without any exemption, to completely ban mining in the island.
