                    [Title] => Mine tailings still a threat to Boac folk
                    [Summary] => Seven years after the disastrous mine tailings spill from the Tapian pit maintained by the Marcopper Mining Corp. in Marinduque, the tailings still remain a major threat to the health and livelihood of communities there.


Although the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) insists that the issue of flooding is still being contested, the more urgent concern are the sacks of mine tailings piled on the banks of the Boac River which, if left unattended, might seep into the waterway during heavy rains.
