A lot of illegal mining is happening in many parts of the Philippines recently. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) have a hard time stopping these illicit miners from destroying the environment. It seems that these miners are unafraid of the authorities and are somehow protected by powerful individuals.
Two cases in point are in Eastern Samar and in Lingayen, Pangasinan where illegal mining of "black sand" is rampant. The term "black sand" turns out to be a brownish-black mineral called chromite - a mineral ore consisting of an oxide of iron and chromium. This mineral ore is believed to be used in manufacturing black powder for firearm ammunition among other things.
As it later turns out, most of the illegal mining activities were owned and protected by.....the Provincial Governors themselves that is why the DENR and the local police are unable to stop the illicit activities. No wonder our country is going down the sewers, its because most if not all of our leaders are pure filth! Damn, won't they ever stop their wicked ways?
