<p>MANILA, Philippines – Detained mining tycoon Joseph Sy, who is facing deportation charges for supposedly falsifying his Filipino citizenship, has resigned as director of nickel exporting firm Global Ferronickel Holdings Incorporated (FNI), effective immediately, the company disclosed on Friday, December 26. </p>



<p>“His decision was due to personal considerations and for the best interests of the company. The company expresses its appreciation for Mr. Sy’s service and contributions during his tenure,” publicly listed FNI told the Philippine Stock Exchange. </p>



<p>The Bureau of Immigration said Sy has the same fingerprints as Chinese citizen Chen Zhong Zhen. He was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on August 21 for allegedly misrepresenting himself as a Filipino citizen. He is currently being held at the BI’s detention facility in Taguig City while his case is on appeal.</p>



<p>Sy’s resignation was announced 11 days after an embarrassing appearance before the Senate justice and human rights subcommittee chaired by Senator Risa Hontiveros, where he dodged questions about his citizenship due to his pending legal case. </p>



<p>When asked by Hontiveros basic questions of where he was born and where he grew up, Sy repeatedly said, “I can invoke my right to remain silent.”</p>

‘Call of the times’: Environmentalists urge passage of anti-dynasty law

web.brid.gy/r/https://www.rapp

<p>MANILA, Philippines – A coalition challenging large-scale mining called on the government to pass an anti-dynasty law, echoing a broad progressive movement in protest of the political dynasties connected to the <a href="https://www.rappler.com/topic/corruption-in-the-philippines/">corruption scandal</a> in the country.</p>



<p>“When politicians are beneficial owners or when politicians are part of the value chain of mining operations, we cannot expect compliance with environmental laws and other regulatory policies,” said Jaybee Garganera, national coordinator of Alyansa Tigil Mina (ATM), on Thursday, December 11.</p>



<p>Advocacy watchdog Global Witness and ATM released a report Thursday linking nickel mined in the Philippines to leading manufacturers of electric vehicles.</p>



<p>The report traced ties between <a href="https://marcventuresholdings.com.ph/corporate-profile/">Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation</a> – linked to the President’s cousin and former House Speaker <a href="https://www.rappler.com/people/p84424693-ferdinand-martin-gomez-romualdez/">Martin Romualdez</a> – and Chinese metal traders supplying materials for carmakers. Marcventures operates a nickel mine in Surigao del Sur covering 4,799 hectares.</p>



<p>“There will be failure of governance where powerful politicians are behind [these] mining [corporations],&#8221; Garganera said, adding that they have been recommending the passage of such a law as a response to the &#8220;call of

<p>MANILA, Philippines – In the Philippines, poor towns in Surigao del Sur and Dinagat Islands affected by nickel mining operations are paying the price of the rising demand for minerals needed to fuel the world’s energy transition, according to a new <a href="https://cri.org/reports/broken-promises/">report</a> by Climate Rights International (CRI).</p>



<p>Residents in these towns expressed concerns on increased flood risk, dwindling fish resources, loss of farmlands, food insecurity, unsafe drinking water, respiratory and skin ailments, the report said. </p>



<p>“The push to transition to renewables should not be used as an excuse to harm the rights of local communities,” Krista Shennum, CRI researcher and author of the report, said in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClimateRightsIntl/videos/2047184526099427/">forum</a> on Tuesday, November 4.</p>



<p>Aside from the impact on livelihoods, health, and environment, the report noted that bounties had been put on the heads of anti-mining individuals, including a prominent activist and a local politician.</p>



<p>Among the nickel mining companies in CRI’s report are Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation in Surigao del Sur, as well as San Roque Metals Incorporated, Oriental Vision Mining Philippines Corporation, and Libjo Mining Corporation in Dinagat Islands.</p>



<p>Marcventures’ nickel mining site is located in the town of Cantilan in Surigao del Sur. The impacts on the environment and the community th

'Extraction is the material foundation of a zero-carbon world. “#GreenCapitalism” can therefore sound like an oxymoron. How can capitalism ever be green if even the technologies and infrastructures needed to harness #renewableEnergy require digging several hundred new large-scale #mines in the span of a decade?'
