[Title] => Anti-mining group’s claims baseless, says Lafayette
[Summary] =>
Lafayette Mining has branded as baseless and irresponsible the allegations by a militant anti-mining group that it said is desperate to stop the Rapu-Rapu project now that it is on the verge of resuming operations.
Barangay Mananao, where those who died come from according to the anti-mining group Kalikasan-PNE, is on the other end of the island and is 15 kilometers away from the project site, the company said.
"This is like saying that the death in Valenzuela was caused by a project located in Muntinlupa," Lafayette said in a statement.

[Title] => Kalikasan, kalusugan wasak sa katiwalian
[Summary] =>
AYOKO sanang mangutya, lalo’t abala ang mga panig sa emergency cleanup ng oil spill sa dagat ng Guimaras. Pero dahil nagsisisihan ang Coast Guard at Petron sa paglubog ng tanker na pinagmulan ng mapangwasak na leak, pareho ko sila uusigin.
