SMI tumanggap ng Anvil award

- Ni Rudy Andal -

MANILA, Philippines - Pinarangalan ng Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) ang nakabase sa South Cotabato na Sagittarius Mines, Inc. (SMI) dahil sa  high-tech mobile communications facility sa 46th “Gabi ng Parangal” kamakailan sa Edsa Shangri-La Hotel.

Natamo ng Mobile Community Information and Resource Center (mCIRC) ng SMI ang prestihiyosong Anvil Award for Excellence in the Public Relations Tools category.

“The mCIRC is a mobile communications facility that allows us to communicate to our various stakeholders on the magnitude and scope of the Tampakan Copper-Gold Project, especially in terms of its environmental and social impacts,” sabi ni Mark Williams, general manager ng SMI. “It also enables us to present important information on SMI’s Sustainable Development (SD) plans and policies to our stakeholders, particularly to our host communities as they formulate a free and prior informed decision of the project.”

May Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) ang SMI sa gobyerno ng  Pilipinas para sa eksplorasyon, pagpapaunlad at operasyon ng $5.9-BTampakan Copper-Gold Project na sumasaklaw sa mga lalawigan ng South Cotabato, Sarangani, Sultan Kudarat at Davao del Sur.

“Our mCIRC was designed to help us communicate across the region where people speak at least seven languages or dialects with diverse education levels,” sabi naman ni John Arnaldo, Corporate Communications Manager ng SMI. “A team of trained mCIRC staff is also on hand to facilitate and answer questions that may arise during the visit to the center. Since its launch in June 2010, more than 15,000 people in nine communities within our project area and in Baguio have visited the mCIRC.”

Ayon pa kay Arnaldo, marami rin silang mater­yales sa Ingles, Filipino, Bisaya, Blaan at Ilonggo na nagbibigay ng detalye sa mga potensiyal na benepisyo ng proyekto.
