                    [Summary] => The Australian government, Malacañang and the private sector defended Australian mining company Lafayette NL yesterday after its closure was recommended by a fact-finding commission led by a Catholic bishop, saying the Philippines needs to continue developing the mining industry or lose opportunities for economic growth.


While the Australian government seeks the reopening of Lafayette as soon as possible, the Palace said there must be "fairness and reason" in dealing with mining investors to avoid loss of confidence from the international investment community.

This, as Albay Vice Gov. James Calisin, in a statement, threatened to sue the panel for economic sabotage should its findings turn out to have no scientific basis and result in another fish scare hoax.

                    [Summary] => Albay Vice Gov. James Calisin said yesterday President Arroyo was duped into releasing P10 million to some Sorsogon towns and forming an independent commission for non-existent reasons.


In a statement, Calisin said the alleged mercury scare in Sorsogon was "an invention of a few key persons in Sorsogon and anti-mining groups for their own vested interests, including blocking Lafayette’s Rapu-Rapu project and at the same time to generate undeserved revenues." Rapu-Rapu is in Albay.

Due to the deterioration of the peace and order situation in Guinobatan, Smart was compelled to suspend and turn off its cellsite there last month to protect the lives of its employees and safeguard its facilities.


In a statement, Smart said it took into consideration assurances given by Albay Vice Gov. Jesus Calisin that the local officials shall ensure the safety of the Smart cellsite in Guinobatan.
