That is why there is a very minimal social acceptance to the renewal of Oceana’s FTAA [Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement]. That is the reason why we are on the barricades.” --So the opponents just act on the reason of "no rehabilitation plan" for the pit? Then flagged OGC as an irresponsible miner? What a joke. Good to see the lay-off is happening. Sympathy to the employees. Hope they go for their goverment for employment peitition.

What's the joke? Try getting an open pit mine up in Australia without a rehabilitation plan (and a host of other environmental and cultural considerations) - but then Didipio is in someone else's back yard, isn't it - so who cares?
