Militant anti-mining activists are becoming destructive and at times irresponsible and must be restrained at the very least or dealt with to the full extent of the law if warranted, Sorsogon Gov. Raul Lee said in a statement.


Lee said the foreigners who took part in "deceiving" the people of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) the other day to be able to unfurl their huge anti-mining banner from the top of the building must be investigated and if warranted, deported.
