This is the 3rd mining site with similar reports that Aksyon Kalikasan has monitored in recent days. We would like to be clarified by the Inter Agency Task Force on the COVID-19 (IATF) as to whether mining activities are except from the work stoppage that we currently have in line with the ongoing enhance community quarantine (ECQ).

Despite the findings of the the DENR that no violation is happening related to the quarantine and that no secret mining activities are happening in the island, there are other sources from locals who claimed otherwise. Aksyon Kalikasan calls on the IATF (Inter Agency Task Forces on the COVIDE-19) to send an independent investigator to ascertain the facts. We understand that during this period of quarantine, no mining activities are allowed. Further that the continuation of the hauling activities of chromite already mined are subject to social-distancing guidelines of the IATF and must be followed strictly.
