No to mining in Palawan


Lately I am having less television hours. I have read somewhere that it is not healthy to sit long hours in front of the tube. But I always try to watch news at TV to keep myself abreast with current events. It's just that this Saturday, me and my boardmates were hook to an MMK episode featuring a woman on her fight against irresponsible mining in Palawan. And just after one commercial, I was instantly one of her fan. This blog post is my response to her call to fight against irresponsible mining in Palawan (and in other parts of the Philippines).

I would love to visit Palawan one of these days. Palawan is my top places I would love to visit. To quote no2mininginpalawan.com :

National Geographic named Palawan as one of its top-20 destinations for 2011. It has 17 Key Biodiversity Areas and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are at risk from mining. If we don't do anything, the future for Palawan's indigenous people and rare endemic species is bleak.

So please sign the petition, then inform your friends. Then sign up at http://no2mininginpalawan.com/.
