BAYAN TO SENATE: STOP HARBORING SUSPECTED MASS MURDERER BATO

Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) strongly calls on the Philippine Senate to immediately surrender Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa to the proper authorities so he can be brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague to face trial for his crimes against humanity.

The sanctuary provided by the Senate for a person wanted for mass murder under the leadership of Duterte loyalist Sen. Alan Cayetano is both shameful and utterly despicable. A lawmaking institution expected to serve as a bastion of accountability and justice is now unmasked as a hiding place for lawbreakers and enabler of impunity.

The ICC warrant of arrest states reasonable grounds to believe that dela Rosa is an indirect co-perpetrator for the crime against humanity of murder committed during Rodrigo Duterte’s bogus “war on drugs.” The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber has found reasonable grounds to believe that dela Rosa was a key implementer of the drug war, made “essential contributions” to the killings by promoting, enabling and directing murderous operations nationwide.

These are not ordinary criminal charges that can simply be brushed aside by institutional courtesies, threats of contempt, and inventing bogus grounds for protective custody. No public office should shield anyone from accountability, especially one whose murderous campaign masquerading as law enforcement victimized thousands of poor Filipinos.

The new Senate leadership should not aid or abet attempts to evade accountability. Is it not enough that the Senate is already coddling alleged thieves and plunderers among its ranks that it now wants to harbor a fugitive and suspected mass murderer inside its august halls?

BAYAN stands with the families of Duterte’s and dela Rosa’s victims who have long sought justice for their loved ones. The Filipino people deserve truth, accountability and justice for the thousands killed in the drug war.

Sen. dela Rosa must face the charges against him before the ICC. The Senate should immediately cooperate for his surrender to The Hague. #

Ang Defend Land ,Life and Resources Coalition Hong Kong ay nakikiisa sa barikada ng mamamayan ng Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya laban sa pagbibigay pahintupit ng Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) sa exploration permit sa Northern Luzon Mineral Resources Corporation (NLMRC) sa mga barangay ng Pao at Katidugen noong Sabado, Mayo 9.

Huwag nating pahintulutan ang mga naghaharing uri at mga nasa kapangyarihan na dambungin ang ating mga yamang mineral at kabuhayan.

WHY WOGGLE CORPORATION INSISTS ON MINING DUPAX DEL NORTE

In Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya, local communities have repeatedly voiced opposition to mining exploration. But Woggle Corporation continues to push its operations, citing the potential for significant mineral wealth beneath the land. This insistence requires looking at both the geological promise and the economic rationale driving the company.

Dupax del Norte is considered a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) target, a type of deposit known for containing multiple valuable metals together.

Preliminary surface surveys indicate high concentrations of:

Gold (Au) — up to 15.47 grams per tonne in some trenches, a grade considered high by global standards.

Copper (Cu) — approximately 7% in some rock samples, unusually rich for surface indicators.

Zinc (Zn) — with reported values as high as 24.74% in some test trenches.

These early indicators suggest that Dupax could host millions of tonnes of mineralised rock, potentially translating into hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold and tens of thousands of tonnes of copper and zinc.

While these numbers remain exploration targets rather than confirmed resources, they are enough to motivate Woggle to continue investment in the area.

Another reason Woggle is pushing exploration is Dupax’s proximity to the existing Runruno processing facility. If mineralisation proves economically viable, ores could be transported directly to Runruno, reducing infrastructure costs and speeding up production. This advantage makes Dupax an attractive target compared to a completely new, greenfield site.

Woggle also holds a government-issued exploration permit, allowing geophysical surveys and drilling. From a corporate perspective, early exploration is a low-risk, high-reward strategy. Confirming the presence of valuable metals now positions the company for potential future mining operations and attracts investors for the next phases of the project.

The combination of high-grade surface indicators, potential large tonnage, and access to existing processing infrastructure explains why Woggle continues to press ahead, despite strong local resistance.

To put the mineral potential into perspective:

10 million tonnes of rock at 5 g/t gold could contain ~1.6 million ounces of gold.

Copper at 5% in the same tonnage could contain ~500,000 tonnes of copper.

Zinc content, depending on distribution, could add tens of thousands of tonnes.

At current market prices, even partial extraction could represent hundreds of millions of dollars in metals, which is why the company sees Dupax as a strategic economic opportunity.

Mining is, by nature, a short term activity, bound by the finite life of an ore body. Once the minerals are exhausted, the operation ends, leaving behind altered landscapes, long term environmental risks, and communities that must continue living on the same land.

Agriculture, by contrast, is a long term livelihood. When land and water are protected, farming sustains families and local economies for generations. It does not expire when a resource runs out, nor does it depend on global commodity prices.

The conflict in Dupax del Norte is therefore not merely about exploration permits or mineral grades. It is about whether short term extraction should be allowed to compromise land that supports long term food security, water systems, and community life.

Development that sacrifices enduring livelihoods for temporary gains raises a fundamental question of responsibility, not only to investors, but to the people who will remain long after the mining ends.

Hindi krimen ang pagprotekta sa likas na yaman laban sa mapanirang pagmimina!

Walang malasakit si Pangulong Marcos sa kanyang mga kababayan sa Norte. Armas at rehas ang sagot ng gobyerno sa mga residente ng Dupax Del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya sa halip na pakinggan ang hinaing at suportahan ang laban para depensahan ang kalikasan, lupa at kabuhayan.

Mahigit 300 na magkasamang pwersa ng militar, PNP at SWAT ang idineploy sa komunidad upang tiyakin ang pagpapalayas sa mga residente. Walang pag-aatubili ang mga pasistang militar at pulis na dahasin ang mamamayang lumalaban – ito ang terorismo ng estado. Patunay ito na ang interes ng mga dayuhang kapitalista tulad ng Woggle Mining Corporation – ang itinataguyod at pinoprotektahan ng gobyerno.
Ang laban ng mga mamamayan sa Dupax Del Norte ay laban din ng mga migranteng Pilipino. Itinataboy tayo ng gobyernong Marcos palabas ng bansa dulot ng kawalan ng lupa, trabaho at inhustisya dahil sa bulok na sistema na interes ng dayuhan ang inuuna sa halip na interes ng taumbayan.
Dapat kanselahin ang permit ng Woggle Mining Corporation at imbestigahan ang marahas na dispersal ng mga nagbarikada. Hindi tayo papayag na ginagamit ang ating remittances para dahasin ang mamamayan.

Patuloy tayong lalaban hanggat makamit ng mamamayan ang hustisya.

"Mariin naming kinokondena ang 15% na pagtaas sa SSS contribution na aabot ng P5,250 kada buwan. Pahirap, pabigat, at dagdag gastos sa OFWs ang pagtaas ng bayarin lalo pa’t solo namin itong binabayaran. Nangangamba kaming nanakawin din ang pondo nito kagaya ng P90 bilyong pondo ng PhilHealth. Sa halip na dagdag-serbisyo at benepisyo, dagdag bayarin ang pasabog sa Bagong Taon ng gobyernong Marcos Jr."
