If the FTAA isn't approved consequences for the Phillipines more broadly would be significant.

Locally
1500 high paying jobs would be gone
3000 local jobs would be gone
Investment in the area would cease
Maintenance of all that social infrastructure built by Oceana Gold would cease


Nationally
Mining investment would dry up
Export income would drop off
Bribery and corruption will continue to dominate politics in the Phillipines
