The country’s contact cen-ter sector expects to sustain its revenue growth despite the strict lockdown imposed earlier this month to contain the pandemic, as the sector benefits from hybrid work and increased vaccine rollout.

In a statement, the Con-tact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) said the contact center sector remains among the more resilient ones, posting growth even with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

While the country’s contact center and business process sector is projected to grow by 2.7 to 3.2 percent from 2020 to 2022 in terms of revenue, based on a study by global research firm Everest Group, CCAP said some of its members even expect a higher trend, buck-ing the expected impact of the enhanced community quar-antine implemented in Metro Manila earlier this month on businesses.

“While staying afloat was the focus for many businesses like the contact center sector in 2020, the attention has now shifted to growth and helping jumpstart the economy through

Contact centers foresee sustained revenue growth

hybrid work setup and intensi-fied vaccination efforts,” CCAP president Jojo Uligan said.

“These will ensure that our employees are safe, healthy, and can contribute to main-taining the country’s position as a top BPO (business process outsourcing) destination,” he added.

Citing Everest Group, CCAP said the projected growth for the contact center sector would depend on accelerated digital transformation, robust ecosys-tem, skilled workforce, and strong government support.

Among the challenges iden-tified by Everest Group in its study are higher business environment risk due to regu-latory uncertainty and the lack of digitally-skilled talent compared to other locations.

“With our industry at the forefront of digital accelera-tion, it’s only essential that we bring in fresh ideas and expert opinions from around the world to help address these issues,” Uligan said.

For CCAP’s upcoming Con-tact Islands Conference to be held virtually from Sept. 27 to Oct.1, the group said new operating models would be discussed to help companies navigate the

changing business environment while making sure their employ-ees are healthy and safe.

“We remain steadfast in our pursuit of maintaining the Philippines’ position as a top destination for customer expe-rience services,” Uligan said.

“From adjustments, further refinements, to looking toward a post-COVID business envi-ronment, we’re hoping to pro-vide the outlook and needed lessons to fuel growth in the industry,” he added.

Meanwhile, CCAP’s partner

association, the Information Technology and Business Pro-cess Association of the Philip-pines (IBPAP) said in a Face-book post that its president and chief executive officer, Rey Untal, would step down on Sept. 17, after being with the organization for more than four years.

IBPAP board chairman Benedict Hernandez will serve as officer-in-charge upon the effective date of Untal’s resig-nation and until a new presi-dent and CEO is named.

A country club I used to frequent during the pre-pan-demic life has turned into a ghost town, its life sapped to the last breath. It is now an empty building cordoned off with a yellow barricade tape that looked like a police line, as if a gruesome crime had happened there. Indeed, it might as well be a crime scene, except the killer is a tiny, tiny virus invisible to the naked eye.

The caddies are nowhere to be found, the restaurants are closed, the parking lot is empty. Not a single security guard was around to stop me when I roamed the once busy

district. I thought it was open, as quarantine restrictions have eased, but I was wrong.

In the once sleepless Poblacion, the old downtown area of Makati, speakeasies, bars and restaurants are closed, too, as if someone had cast a spell on the lively, hip area, putting it into a deep slumber for until God knows when.

In Pasong Tamo, art galleries, avant-garde hangouts, and dining places that used to be bustling with

creativity, art, and artists with infectious chutzpah are now devoid of people and activities; it makes you feel like you just stepped on dystopian land.

The lockdowns have no doubt paralyzed businesses all over Metro Manila and the less stringent modified enhanced community quarantine classification is unlikely to bring back economic activities.

DemoralizingJust seeing all this is depressing, yet I don’t even have a

business. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for busi-ness owners and their employees.

“It must be so demoralizing for businessmen,” I told the chairman of a listed company.

“Bullseye!” he said, “and these are the things you can’t quantify.”

Indeed, on top of the still unresolved COVID-19 pan-demic, our economic pains continue.

The good news is that corporates’ second-quarter performance showed improvements from last year. The bad news is whatever little improvement they managed to achieve, even partly due to low base effect, could be wiped out because of the stricter lockdowns this ghost month of August.

Let’s look at some of the numbers. Conglomerates

Conglomerates’ results were mixed, but many managed to recover.

The Gokongwei’s JG Summit, for instance, recorded a core net income of P1.7 billion in the first half, up 19 percent as its food and banking revenues remained stable. Its snack foods giant Universal Robina Corp. reported a net income after tax of P8.5 billion for the same period, up 42 percent.

The Po family’s Century Pacific Food ended the first half with a net income of P2.7 billion, clocking in a double-digit growth of 21 percent versus the same period last year on the back of strong export sales and resilient local demand.

San Miguel Corp. reported a first-half net income of P29.6 billion, a major turnaround from a net loss of P4 billion last year. All major businesses such as food and beverage posted robust recoveries in the second quarter, SMC disclosed.

Ty-owned GT Capital Holdings, likewise, grew its net income by 143 percent in the first half of the year to P6.7 bil-lion. Core net income rose 83 percent to P5.8 billion, driven by Metrobank and the strong automotive business through Toyota Philippines.

On the other hand, Lucio Tan’s LT Group, Inc. reported a first half net income of P3.73 billion, down by 63 percent or P6.30 billion compared to the P10.03 billion recorded a year ago, but this was due to higher provisioning for credit losses of banking arm Philippine National Bank.

Nicky Franco, head of research at Abacus Securities, said that without the PNB factor, LTG’s recurring second quarter profit was P5.1 billion, up 33 percent, while the first-half figure was P11.6 billion, up 15 percent.

“These numbers still lag consensus, but are certainly much better relative to its conglomerate peers,” Franco said.

Indeed, LTG’s other businesses such as tobacco, liquor and beverage performed well.

Ayala Corp. reported a net income of P10.4 billion in the first half, up 31 percent, but core net income decreased eight percent to P13.3 billion during the period.

Pangilinan-led Metro Pacific Investments Corp. reported a 13 percent increase in first half core net income to P6 bil-lion from P5.3 billion.

Among the smaller listed companies, Fruitas Holdings, the listed food and beverage kiosk chain, returned to profit-ability in the second quarter and narrowed its first half losses to P9 million from P12 million a year ago.

But how about the smaller, neighborhood businesses or stand-alone restaurants?

Just by looking at their empty tables or closed shops, we know they’re hard up and the problem is worse for the many employees laid off than for the business own-ers — chefs, waiters, cashiers, errand boys, contractual workers, etc.

For sure, our economic pains will continue and the contin-ued nationwide lockdown — instead of localized lockdowns — will further aggravate the problem.

I won’t be surprised if companies’ third quarter numbers erase whatever little gains were recorded in the second quarter because as I write this, there’s still no telling when the lockdowns, modified or otherwise, will really end.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) plans to issue before the end of the year a unified policy governing the handling and use of digital data gathered by banks from their clients.

BSP Deputy Governor Mamerto Tangonan said the central bank is crafting the framework on data gover-nance and ethical use of data policy for BSP-supervised financial institutions (BSFIs).

“The issuance will be geared toward ensuring that all the information obtained and passing through differ-ent digital channels will be handled ethically and that all participants will be bound by key data governance prin-ciples,” Tangonan said.

In adopting digital gover-nance standards for the protec-tion and privacy of consumer data, the regulator said the proposed policy should add another layer of “high level principles and supervisory expectations” for all BSFIs’ ethical use of data.

The proposed policy, ac-cording to the BSP, is in ad-dition to the current gover-nance standards relating to the protection and privacy of consumer data, including the enhanced guidelines on infor-mation security management under Circular 982 issued in November 2017, as well as the consumer protection frame-work under Circular 1048 approved in September 2019.

The data governance stan-dards aim to protect the right of financial consumers to ex-pect that their data are secured and kept confidential, includ-ing the transaction, as well as relevant information disclosed in the course of a transaction.

The standards aim to ensure that financial service provid-ers conduct business ethically and do not engage in practices that may be detrimental to the consumer.

Furthermore, the proposed framework, in line with in-ternational standards aims to establish robust infrastructure and data standards amid the

broader use of digital payment platforms.

Under Basel Committee on Banking Supervision 239 Principles, there is a need to strengthen risk data gather-ing capabilities and internal risk reporting practices to enhance risk management and decision-making processes among banks.

Tangonan said the proposed policy on data governance and ethical use of data for BSFIs is one of the key component of the central bank’s Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap which aims to shift 50 percent to total retail trans-actions to digital channels and raise the number of Filipino adults to 70 percent by 2023.

He said the BSP also issued the open finance framework under Circular 1122 on June 17 to serve as a key enabler for digital transformation and financial inclusion.

Tongonan also said the open finance framework pro-motes consent driven data portability, interoperability, and collaborative partnerships among entities that adhere to the same standards of data security and privacy.

“The BSP provides an en-abling regulatory environment that allows innovations to thrive while maintaining the safety, efficiency and reliabil-ity of the national payment system,” he said.

The pandemic has served as a catalyst to digitalization as Filipinos shifted toward digital financial services.

BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno earlier said the shift provides the central bank with greater impetus to balance its promotion of financial inclu-sion and digital finance with the need to ensure information security.

“In the digital realm, we know that consumer data are a valuable and often times, a monetized asset. Hence, we have what we call, data as currency. The wider use of e-payment platforms should therefore be supported by robust infrastructure and gov-erned by sound data stan-dards,” Diokno said.

Telco giant PLDT Inc. and Nokia are set to make com-mercially available soon a first in the country solution that would help businesses acceler-ate their digital transformation and boost customer experience.

PLDT, through PLDT En-terprise and its wireless arm Smart Communications Inc., has teamed up with Nokia to develop enterprise-specific Internet of Things (IoT) ser-vices for its customers across the country.

PLDT said the Smart IoT platform, which will be fully ready within the year, would transform the way IoT ap-plications are deployed and managed in the country.

The Smart IoT platform, ac-cording PLDT, would further enhance businesses by allow-ing them to have full real-time visibility and control to up to hundreds of thousands of con-nected devices.

The PLDT-Nokia partner-ship could help build IoT-en-abled industries by providing relevant business solutions for more efficient management of interconnected devices at scale.

“We put this vision for-ward with the Philippines’ first localized IoT offer and we believe that this will ulti-mately pave the way for the Philippines’ transformation to a nation of smart cities,” ePLDT president and CEO and PLDT and Smart enter-prise business groups senior vice president and head Jovy Hernandez said.

The IoT initiative forms part of PLDT’s strategy in building a complete 5G ecosystem.

“At PLDT Enterprise, our vi-sion is to make a positive impact on every single business, espe-cially today as the pandemic continues to challenge the way we normally do things. And we affirm our unbreakable commit-ment to continue enabling the digital transformation of indus-tries through innovative tech-nologies such as the Internet of Things. But for PLDT-Smart, this is so much more than IoT, as it opens up a lot of possibili-ties that were previously only a dream,” he said.

Hernandez earlier de-scribed IoT as a “technologi-cal revolution with immense potential in improving the way we do things.”

The telco giant expects the launch of the platform to further complement PLDT Enterprise’s already extensive solutions portfolio.

Nokia has been a long-standing systems and network partner of the PLDT Group.

The company earlier ex-pressed optimism on the growth of its business in the country as it looks to capitalize on the country’s 5G transfor-mation in the next few years.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with PLDT and Smart on the whole IoT en-vironment. As a partner, we not only bring just a platform, but also the business experience we have around the world, provid-ing technology and business so-lutions to help drive enterprise growth,” Nokia Philippines head Carlos Reyes said.

try have already undergone several hundreds of days of multiple harsh lockdowns and are suffering from the ill effects of these. Yet the Duterte administrat ion chooses to ignore worsen-ing poverty and scrimp on much-needed cash assis-tance,” IBON said.

“To mitigate poverty, the

government needs to ensure substantial ayuda and support to help Filipinos in need. Real and substantial spending on the people’s immediate needs, as well as that of the production sectors and small businesses, is urgent to re-cover from the harsh impact of the pandemic crisis and lockdowns on livelihoods and incomes,” it said.

WATER It was mentioned that there was no corals and no coral cover. Have they gotten studies or information with regards to the disturbance of aquatic organisms?

Atty. Liza Eisma Oceana

Engr. Venice Montemayor (EIA Preparer): Based doon sa mga ginawang methodology dahil ang area ay about to 15 to 20 meters, wala talaga silang nakita. In fact, merong study dyaan na mismo si Limay ay nagsagawa ng mga artificial corals. This is just really a validation of the previously studies related doon sa area with regards to the marine ecology. Based sa aming pag-aaral at the time of sampling wala po kaming nakitaang mga corals.

Based on your presentation naka confine lang daw sa fisheries pero walang discussion regarding benthic and other aquatic sources.

Atty. Jed Ang EMB Central Public Hearing

Officer

Engr. Venice Montemayor (EIA Preparer): wala din kaming nakitaang mga plankton distribution doon sa area. Lahat yon we follow technical scoping checklist during the preparation of the EIS Report and that was our terms of reference. We also have the full report of the benthic assessment we can provide po with the stakeholders if they want.

Doon sa hydro dynamics gusto kong makita ang model. Wala daw epekto, pero sa mitigating measures merong evacuation. Dahil ba sa bagyo? Dahil ba sa paghuhukay? Puwede bang i qualify at ipakita ang pag-aaral ng batayan na wala ngang epekto ang paghuhukay at gaano ba kalalim ang mahuhukay. At ilang taon para manumbalik ang kalagayan nito sa nesting ground ng fisheries.

Mr. Pepe Manila Bay Para sa Tao

Mr. Ronald Puhunang: Bali gumawa po tayo ng hydro dynamic modelling and then nag assume po tayo ng some observation points along Cavite and Bataan. Iyong mga observation points na yon is about 1 kilometer. For example sa project site, nag stimulate na po yong mga waves and currents ay wala pong epekto doon sa mga areas na malapit po sa tabing dagat. Ang simulation lang po ay focus doon sa area na malapit sa dagat po within 1 kilometer. And in our modelling included yong waves, currents and etc.

Kung walang impact sa waves saan tatama yon kundi sa Limay? Saan pupunta yong waves sa pag aaral nila.

Mr. Ronald Puhunang: Ang assumption po natin doon sa modelling po, halimbawa dahil flat na po yong project area na huhukanin natin kapag nahukay po, yong magiging effect kung

Proponent’s Response

magkakaroon ba ng erosion doon sa malapit sa lupa or malapit sa shoreline ay base sa simulations po. Based po doon sa results wala po syang cases ng critical wave height doon po sa area na malapit sa tabing dagat. Kasi medyo malayo po sya.

Ano ang magiging epekto nito sa kabuuan ng Manila Bay? At may mandamus nga ito sa Supreme Court.

Mr. Mark Anthony Tuliao (EMB): Kaya nga po ang main purpose natin dito is to gather issues and concerns na kung saan yong mga tanong po or relevant questions ng ating mga stakeholders ay idadaan po natin ito sa review meeting after po nitong Public Hearing patungkol doon sa impact ng project sa Manila Bay. We will include po iyan sa discussion ng review meeting and we will rerequire the Proponent to include yong mga possible impacts ng kanilang project and its mitigating measures. We will consider po yang concern ninyo during the review meeting.

Yong modelling ng wave kasi kailangang ngayon ay maipaliwanag kasi unang una nasa Public Hearing na po tayo at dumaan na po tayo sa Scoping. Dapat din maipaliwanag ito na mauunawaan ng mga ordinaryong tao o in laymanized form. Itinanong na rin po namin iyan dati at may study na po na nakakapagsabi na malaking epekto iyan. Dapat comprehensive po dahil critical project po yong inaaplayan nila. Lagi nilang sinasabi na pwedeng mangisda basta 200 meters pero ang inaacounts lang nila sa fisheries ay puro lang isda. Hindi lang naman lahat isda ang nabubuhay sa Manila Bay. Meron pang lamang dagat na pinakikinabangan tulad ng alimasag, papaltok at iba pa. wala po sa resource accounting yong lahat po ng hinihingi namin. Dapat ay comprehensive study yong ipepresent sa amin.

Mr. Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Mr. Ronald Puhunang: Ganito po yong sa modelling, ang unang scenario yong walang hukay, yong pangalawang scenario nahukay na. Ano po yong epekto, magkakaroon ba ng coastal erosion sa tabi ng lupa. Nag input po tayo ng hangin amihan, habagat, tide saka may mga modelling scenarios din po na kasama yong matataas na hangin. Ang results po, wala pong epekto doon po sa tabi ng dagat, o sa tabi ng shoreline. Kasi nga po medyo malayo yong project site natin doon sa shoreline. Actually, marami pa po na scenarios na ginawa, pero of course yong malapit doon sa area possible na magkaka erode po doon. Ang sinasabi ko lang po wala pong Erosion na mangyayari dahil po sa project. Kung magkakaroon yan ng erosion hindi dahil sa proyekto kundi dahil sa mga alon. Engr. Venice Montemayor: With regards to the resource accounting doon sa buong area, ang nakita lang talaga during the time ng sampling ay yong mga ipinakita natin na available na nakitang mga isda. Pwede namang gawin ng cargon mining na ma validate further yong naging results ng aming pag-aaral noon. Pwede namang magsagawa ng monitoring later at the same time pwedeng i validate sya para sa kagustuhan ng ating stakeholders.

Proponent’s Response

Doon po sa sinasabi na walang pollution syempre expected na po natin na magiging very positive ang Proponent which is Cargon Mining Corporation dito po sa ginagawa nilang pag rereport. Pero alam din po natin na hindi lahat ng ito ay totoo kaya nga po mas kailangan nating ng mas malalim na mga ebidensya na manggagaling sa Proponent mismo. Alam naman po natin sa seadbed madami ng nakalubog na mga pollutants and when you dredge natural aangat lahat yan at kaya nga magkakaroon ng clouding doon sa katubigan ng karagatan. Sinasabi po na lalagyan ng silt curtains, so ibig sabihin labas pasok pa din ang mga pollutants. Doon po kasi sa report parang doon lang sa area magkakaroon ng dredging pero ang effect po nito ay napakalayo ng mararating. Ang sinasabi po ay pwedeng mangisda pero may restrictions, ang laki na po ng magiging epekto nito sa aming mga mangingisda. Sana po makonsider yong mga livelihood nitong aming mga mangingisda.

Kagawad Rosario Perez Barangay Lamao

Engr. Venice Montemayor: Doon po sa sinasabing pollutants, sa ngayon kasi ang pinaka kilalang teknolohiya sa pag protect ng silt ay yong Silt curtain pero ang teknolohiya kasi ay nagbabago bago . Silt curtain or other silt management measure yong ating ilalagay para sa proyekto.

Yong EIS po dapat holistic po yong approach nong project kasi kumbaga ito ay nasa critical area so supposedly chineck din nila kung ano yong mga batas, dalawa lang po yong nakita ko pero hindi po nila sinali yong RA 550 as amended by 10654 at saka merong pong DILG Memo Circular noong 2018-59 na ang policy guidelines on regulating a monitoring fishery activity in municipal waters. Hindi po na consider doon sa legislative review nong project at gaya po ng mga nauna na sakin kung ito po ay EIA, ang EIA process po sa pagkakaintindi ko po ay holistic po ang approach

Ms. Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo

Atty. Jed Ang: Noted po regarding sa EO and DILG. Engr. Venice Montemayor: Kami naman po dito sa Cargon Mining ay naaayon din po kami sa batas, ang GQSP po ay ayon din po doon sa DAO 2000-25 at meron din po tayong binabasehan na pamantayan with regards to ano ang dapat at hindi dapat na aplayan pagdating po sa seabed quarry, iyon po ay nasasaad sa Section 15 ng DAO 96-40. Pagdating naman po sa concern ni Maam Sandra, probably much better kunin talaga namin yong pinaka issues ni Maam Sandra and para ma incorporate in our revise EIS. Kung ano man yong studies na related at para ma improved yong aming study kung kinakailangan.

Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion

Proponent’s Response

nito kumbaga e prior to any decision to approved a project ay ni rerecognize po and inaidentify, pinepredict, evaluate and mitigate yong biophysical social and other relevant effects of the project in a critical area mas lalo pang mahirap kasi critical area po. Ang Manila Bay ay special management area po under RA 550 as amended by 10654 at may supreme court ruling yong Mandamus rule na ito ay special area. So ito po yong sinasabi namin na dapat hindi nabale wala at hindi nakasama doon sa review. At ito po ay extraction activity, tama po yong sinasabi nila na depleted na yong demersal fishery sa area pero hindi po ito sapat na rason para lalong deplete nila kasi extraction nga to, kukunin yong kabahayan ng pangisdaan at yong pinapakita lang po ng EIS Preparer ay yong members of the community, fisheries community missing po yong connectivity, yong ecological connectivity ng pangkalahatang members ng fishery areas or yong marine resource area.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)

Have you identified any alternative seabed quarry if the need is only for filling material for reclamation? Sinasabi nyo rin na heavily silted yong Manila Bay so parang putik yong nasa Manila Bay. Kaugnay parin sa putik, symepre yong putik ay iba pa po yong sinasasabi na pwede pong kumalat. Yong nakahalo yong putik at buhangin pwede pong kumalat sa water column tapos kapag umulan tataas yong mga ilog na nakalugnok sa Manila Bay, yong putik na suspended materials na

Mr. Aeschylus Valenzuela: Since po yong application namin ay with agreement with PHCC we are confined sa area namin lang doon sa application namin na GSQP. Yong PHCC, they have other sources we don’t have any information. Then with regards to the total suspended materials pollutants na nanggagaling sa coal na napupunta sa water column, yon po ba yong drinking water ninyo sa Limay? Kung yon po ay hindi naman po natin ma di disturb yong water column na yon dahil freshwater po yon na nanggagaling sa river mismo o sa precipitated water na galing sa ulan na nag fefeed doon sa groundwater na nagiging source ng tubig.

EIA Module

Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/ Suggestion

Proponent’s Response

nakahalo po sa water column, ano po yong mangayayari sa pupuntahan ng suspended materials? Gaano po ito kalayo? Hindi ko po ito nakita doon sa explanation. Doon sa mga sediments na ito pwede pong sinisipsip nito yong mga pollutants considering that yong Limay and other municipalities like Mariveles ang dame pong heavy pollutants dyaan, kapag po dineredge natin yong putik maari pong bumalik sa water column yong mga heavy metals at pwedeng kumalat sa mga micro-organisms at maka apekto po sa mga marine resources kahit po sa mga isda. Possible din na ma contaminate itong mga marine resources na ito na kinakain ng ating mga mangingisda. With regards to silt curtain, hindi ko din po naintindihan yong sagot kaugnay doon sa silt curtain. Permeable yong silt curtain, gaano po ba kalalim yong ilalagay na silt curtain? Gaano kalalim yong ilalaglag na silt curtain? At yong dissolve components im sure na hindi po ito kayang pigilan lalo na yong mga heavy metals components na dissolve at nasa water column. Paano po nila ito pipigilan? Climate Adaptation Plan – sabi nyo po nag modelling kayo sa hydro dynamics, paano nyo po isinali yong usapin po ng climate yong paglalabo po ng crisis natin sa klima. So dapat meron po tayong Climate Adaptation Plan dyan.

Ms. Derek Cabe

NFBM

Yong precipitates ng muds na kapag na disturb na parang magkakaroon ng alikabok effect, yon po is kapag na disturb po yan. Halimbawa po nito para pong garapon ng asukal kapag hinalo nyo yong garapon na may asukal iikot po yon. So yong precipitate po nya kung merong boundary na tulad ng silt curtains, sabihin natin na 90-95% mag iistay lang doon sa area na yon. Yong permeable po na minemention nila regarding sa silt curtain, I think talaga pong may butas yong silt curtain para mag flow through to and from yong tubig sa area na magkakaroon ng activity. Mr. Ronald Puhunang: With regards to CCA kinonsider na po iyon sa modelling report.

Question po regarding the ballast water management. Can you expound on this? How can

PEOPLE Yong mga LONO na sinasabi ay kalian po naibigay? Kasi dapat po ay meron itong mga pinagbabasehan ang mga agencies bago makapag bigay ng LONO. Ano ang direct na benefit na maibibigay sa mga mangingisda? Wala pong malinaw na stand na kung ano ang maibibigay na deritso na benepisyo sa aming mga mangingisda. Sana po ang ating DENR particularly ang EMB ay tingnan nyo rin po ang social effect ng proyekto na ito. Una ang Manila Bay sinabi ko na po noong nakaraan na ito ay “food basket”. We are not against progress; we are not against development but then we should always consider yong pong aspeto ng environment at ng social status ng aming mga ka barangay.

Kagawad Rosario Perez Barangay Lamao

Mr. Nemesio Panuga: Ipinaliwanag po namin during that meeting ano yong mga direct na benepisyo na makukuha ng stakeholders particularly ng Limay Bataan pati yong mga host communities at neighboring communities. Ang direct po na benepisyo na maibibigay sa kanila ay napaploob doon sa SDMP na kung hindi po ako nagkakamali ay nasa 1.5% ng operating cost ng project. Ito po ay direct na mag bebenefit sa munisipyo at host communities. Ginawa po itong programa na ito para idevelop and iupgrade yong mga communities. Marami po itong mga aspeto maliban po doon sa pagbibigay ng posibleng livelihood nila pwedeng may mga iba pang bagay na proyekto ang barangay na pwede pang matulungan itong programa na ito. So ito po yong mga direct na benepisyo na mapupunta sa community at idadagdag ko na rin po noong panahon na ineexplain po namin sinama rin namin na meron ding tinatawag na rehabilitation fund, ito po yong sa EPEP, ito din po ay may kalakip na budget, ito po ay mandato na napapaloob sa mining law na kailangang gamitin ng company para iimprove o mag conduct ng mitigating measures sa mga posibleng epekto ng proyekto.

I was looking po for the Chapter 5 ng SDP natanong ko po kasi before, kung may equivalent compensation po na usually naibibigay sa mga mangingisda.

Ms. Arlyn Morales Mendoza BFAR Region 3

Engr. Venice Montemayor (EIA Preparer): nabanggit din kanina ni Sir Nemesio yong SDMP subject pa rin sa collaboration ng pag uusap ng mga apektadong mangingisda kung meron man para kung ano ang dapat matugunan para sa kanila. Ito namang SDMP allotted is naaayon po sa batas na kailangan po iyan ay tugunan at gampanan ng ating Proponent. Pagdating po sa final compensation, doon po namin sya makikita sa final na pag uusap at kung ilan po ang maaapektuhan. Tuloy tuloy po ang pag uusap ukol dito.

OTHERS This is addressed to the EMB and also to the Proponent. We understand that you have to get a LONO from the BFAR and we understand that BFAR is not issued a LONO. So what will happen if BFAR will not give their consent to this project? And second, it was also mention in the document that there was a LONO from the LGU of Limay. However, we also learned that the process of securing the LONO was not followed the process which is it has to be an adequate public consultation and there should be a special resolution that allows on the project. Is there a way to questioned and allow the proponent to secure again and get a proper LONO with a proper consultations from the stakeholders? Regarding LONO ng Limay, was it given on July? Ang question kasi doon ay hindi nagkaroon ng Public Hearing for the LONO. I think inconsistent din yong list na binigay ni MGB, kasi based on what we heard on MGB another hearing they actually provided na sa listahan yong BFAR Area Clearance. And of course, yong requirement ng Area Clearance not only for securing the seabed quarry permit but also for securing the EIA ECC from your office. So baka kailangan nyo ring tingnan kasi very ano yong Supreme Court ditto na kalilangan talaga ng Public Consultations specially for the provision of the SB Resolution of the Project.

Atty. Liza Eisma Oceana

Mr. Aeschylus Valenzuela (CARGON): With regards to BFAR, initially we submitted the request from MGB to give us the Area Clearance for the other mining corporation area and they responded with the same letter given to all the applicants for GSQP application which is the SC Mandamus. So it turns out that when the DENR gave us the GSQP probationary, BFAR was not included as a requirement for us to get the Area Clearance. In SB, we got the resolution last July from the SB of Municipal of Limay. With regards to the Area Clearance from the Mayor, it was given May 20, 2021 and the resolution of the Municipal of Limay was given last July 2.

Just for clarification, based on the list provided by the MGB for you to get an Area Clearance, what

Gusto ko pong malaman kung sino ang reviewer, kasi ang observation ko as presented ang focus ng pag-aaral ay ang tao, kahanginan at iba pa pero walang fisheries. Kahit doon sa isang slide na pinakitang framework walang fisheries. Mahalaga ito na gusto kong malaman kung kinokonisder ba ang RA 550 na amended ng 10654 na inaadopt na ang ecosystem approach of fisheries management? Parang ang hirap intindihin ng fisheries kung ngayon lang tayo mag aaral na ang impact ay isang ecosystem ng buong Manila Bay kasama ang buong fisheries management area nito. Batay ito sa mga pag-aaral ng Bureau of Fisheries at aprobado mismo ng batas. Pano kinikilala ang EAFM Framework ng mga nag aaral at ng mga reviewer. Doon po sa detalye na poor conditions ang corals may demersal tayo, ibig po bang sabihin walang organisms?

Mr. Pepe Manila Bay Para sa Tao

Engr. Venice Montemayor (EIA Preparer): I think may mga additional information pa kami na kailangan i provide sa review committee na kailangan pa naming tugunan sa ngayon. Ang pineresent lang kasi namin ay yong mga nakitaan namin ng significant. Ang sinasabi naman natin sa pag-aaral nagiging specific lang tayo kung saan yong area natin at dahil yong mga katabi naman na ibang nag aapply ay may kanya kanya silang pag aaral based sa kanilang restriction ng area na pinagkukuhanan nila. So with regards doon sa fishery, sasagutin namin yan sa mga additional information na kailangan pa naming I provide. Mr. Mark Anthony Tuliao (EMB): Regarding po doon sa mga review committee members po natin, we invited yong expert natin sa air and water quality si Engr. Jose Reynato Morente, then si Dr. Solidad Dalisay from Social Impact, Mr. Oscar Cruz for the Geology and Hydrogeology from PAGASA, Dr. Maria Lourdes Moreno for Marine. We will also invite yong Representatives from EMB Region 3, BMB, MGB, PCG, BFAR and MPDO Limay Bataan.

Director Alilo Ensomo MGB: based on the mining act yong mga offshore areas are consider as mineral reservation.

Mr. Mark Anthony Tuliao (EMB): We will inform the management kung pwedeng isama yong ating mga concerned NGOs. However as of now, confirm na iinvite natin si MPDO ng Limay.

Sinabi po nya kanina na hindi kasali ang BFAR sa pag secure ng Area Clearance. Ano po ang legal basis na hindi po kasali ang BFAR kasi based on DAO 2000-25 Section 11-6 andon po ang BFAR at kasama sa listahan. Halos lahat po kasi ng EIA findings wala po kayong nakikita na impact on fisheries, corals, marine ecology and sa lahat ng aspeto ng project. Paano po ba kayo nag conduct ng risk assessment. Kung sakaling matuloy po itong project na ito, meron po bang ECC ang preparer o proponent like focus on harm and avoidance utilization, continuous community consultation including adaptation on professional ethics. Sino po ba ang nag dodocument public scoping o public hearing, it is the proponent or EMB kasi pagdating po kasi sa Public Hearing valid naman po yong ating mga questions pero pagdating po sa EIARC nababago po ang naisusulat.

Mr. Rene Zaldy Porlaje BFAR

Mr. Aeschylus Valenzuela: The Provisional GSQP Permit awarded to us by the DENR, hindi po kasama yong BFAR as one of the government agencies that we need to secure Area Clearance. Engr. Venice Montemayor (EIA Preparer): Regarding sa EIA findings, actually kaming mga consultants sumusunod kami doon sa tinatawag nating Technical scoping checklist, yon talaga ang aming terms of references pagdating sa pagsasagawa ng aming pag aaral lalong lalo na pagdating sa marine ecology. Mr. Mark Anthony Tuliao (EMB): With regards sa ECC, as of now wala pa tayong na dadraft na ECC for this project kasi under review palang po sila. And as to Public Hearing Report, ang ating Preparer and Proponent under the law required silang mag submit ng Public Hearing proceedings and of course Atty.

Oceana Atty Liza Eisma Osorio

Yes magandang umaga. This is address to EMB and also the proponent. I understand you mention that you get a Letter of No Objection from the BFAR? And we understand that BFAR has not issued a Letter of No Objection. What will happen if BFAR will not give their consent to this project and second it is also mentioned in the document that I read there was no letter of no objection from the LGU of Limay. However, we also learned that the process of securing the LONO was not follow the proper process which is there has to be an adequate public consultation and there should be a SD resolution that allows the project. So this is a requirement mention by the court in some Is there a way to question and allow the

proponent to secure again and get the proper LONO and public consultation from the stakeholders. And then finally there was a mention that there were no corals, there was no coral cover. Based on the reading on Scientific arguments when you say coral cover there are still corals there. However, they are in poor condition so aside from that you didn’t mention in the EIS study that about Ventic and aquatic resources maybe affected only the fisheries mentioned. So as have they gotten studies and information with regards to the disturbance to ventic and aquatic resources. Thank you for allowing me to raise this question.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po Atty Lisa. Direct muna natin iyong concerns sa LONO issue ah Ma’am Venice? Regarding dito sa LONO concern ng BMI at BFAR?

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnic

Yes I think si Sir Aki or si Sir Mel of Cargon ang right person. Sir?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Proponent please you have the floor po. Baka po nakamute kayo sir ah. Pakicheck lang po.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnic

Sir Mel with regards to the LONO of BFAR.

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Yes ma’am.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnic

With regards to the LONO of BFAR. We don’t have the LONO for BFAR parang hindi po tayo dumaan sa process I think you are the best person to response as well as doon sa resolution panglalawigan

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

With regards to BFAR initially we submitted request MGB Director Moncano to give us area clearance for the Cargon Mining area and they responded with the same letter given to all the applicants for GSQP application which is the SC Mandamus. So it turns out that when the DENR gave us GSQP Provisionary GSQP Permit BFAR was not included as a requirement for us to get the Area Clearance. What’s the other question Ma’am?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Iyong LONO po para sa ating kasama sa Limay, Bataan po LGU

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Sa SB po we got the resolution last July, 1st week ng July from the SB Municipal of Limay

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

So clarification lang po ano bali doon sa list na prinovide ng MGB para makakuha kayo ng Area clearance anong ahensya po ang mga kasama doon na dapat po ninyong mahingan ng LONO?

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining

LONO sandal lang sir ah. Sir NCIP, Philippine Ports Authority, Department of Management Biodiversity Bureau, Department of Information and Communications Technology, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Philippine Reclamation Authority

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po 2nd question tayo Ma’am Venice and Sir Mel sap ag-aaral po doon sa Ventic and Aquatic resources sa area so nai-raise din iyong concern regarding sa coral cover diumano base doon sap ag-aaral naman po nila ay mayroon naman cover sa area however in poor condition so pakitignan na lang Ma’am doon sa study nila. Ma’am Venice?

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes atty. With regards to the assessment on the Ventic ano. Based doon sa ginawang methodoly so dahil ang area about 15-20 meters full of putik o mud or muddy sandy wala talaga silang nakita. In fact, I think mayroong study diyan na mismo si Limay ay nagsagawa ng artificial corals so it was just really a validation of previously study related doon area with regards sa marine ecology doon sa area.

Base sa aming pag-aaral at the time of sampling wala po kaming nakitaang corals at poor condition ng area. We can provide naman all related study doon sa report namin.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Iyong sa report naman daw nila base sa presentation niyo ay nakaconfine lang daw sa fisheries pero wala daw discussion regarding sa ventic and aquatic resources. (1:26:24)

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Actually Atty namention na din naming iyan dahil wala din kami nakitang plankton distribution doon sa area so lahat iyon we follow the technical scoping checklist done during the preparation of EIS report.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Iyan naman ay nandoon sap ag-aaral ninyo. Tama?

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes. Yes nandoon and we could also have a full report of that na ventic assement we can provide to the stakeholders if they want apart from whole composition integration of the whole report.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sige maraming Salamat po Ma’am Venice. Ah Atty Lisa do you have any follow ups po?

Oceana Atty Liza Eisma Osorio

I would just like to follow up to clarify the LONO from Limay was it given on July or given on May? Kasi based on the records so iyon nga I thnk ang questionable doon is hindi po nagkaroon ng public hearing for the condition of that LONO. And secondly, I’d like to reiterate parang inconsistent iyong statement ni Venice na sabi ng poor condition ng corals tapos walang corals. And also iyong numeration ng MGB I think inconsistent din kasi based on what I heard from the MGB another hearing actually provided nga sa listahan BFAR Area clearance kasama talaga so I duuno kung bakit selective ang MGB or they were making accommodation to this particular corporation so iyon lang po just to raise the issue with MGB. And of course, iyong requirement ng area clearance is also not only for securing quarry permit but also securing the EIA or the ECC from the office niyo Sir Jed baka kailangan niyo din tignan kasi very ano iyong Supreme Court dito na kailangan talaga ng public consultation especially in the provision of SB resolution and the conduct of public consultation. Thank you

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Thank you Maam Lisa. Parespond na lang Sir Mel regarding doon sa final querry ni Ma’am doon sa issuance ng SB Resolution.

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Yes Atty with regards doon sa Area clearance from the Mayor it was given May 2021 and the Resolution of Municipal of Limay was given last July 22 ah July 2.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po at least na-clarify at nafilke naman ni Sir Mel iyong dates. Other issues will be noted noh para at least taken naman po iyong concern regarding sa coral tawag doon coral cover condition niya kung present o absent talag. So let’s move forward to other questions si Manila Bay Para sa Tao sir paki state na lang po ang inyong name for the record please or organization

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network- Pepe Tanchuling

Magandang umaga po. Pepe Tanchuling po para sa Manila Bay Para sa Tao.Walang fisheries. Una kong tanong sa proyekto doon sa detalye ng presentation. Gusto ko pong malaman kung sino ang reviewer? Prinesent natin kung may reviewer na? kasi ang observation ko as presented ang focus ng pag-aaral ay ang tao, kahanginan, at iba pa pero walang fisheries kahit doon sa isang slides na kanilang ipinakita na framework walang fisheries. Mahalaga ito at gusto ko malaman kung kinonsider ba ang 8550 na Amended by 654 na ina-adapt ang ecosystem approach for Fisheries Management. Parang hirap intindihin ng fisheries kung ngayon lang tayo mag-aaral in fact ay isang ecosystem ang Manila Bay kasama ang ibang area nito. Batay ito sap ag-aaral ng Bureau of Fisheries at aprobado mismo ng batas doon sa framework ano po. Paano kinikilala ang EAFM framework ng mga nag-aral at ng mga reviewer at ng EMB. Doon po sa detalye binabanggit po na

poor condition ang corals? May demersal tayo? Pero wala pong comment so what? Ibig bang sabihin walang organism? Ibig bang sabihin hindi kayang i-rehab? Ibig bang sabihin ng demersal ay poor putikan naman eh iyan ang nesting ground nila. Pero hindi naconsider iyong Pilagic batay sap ag-aral ng ENSA 2017 ang Bataan area ay nandiyan pa din ang espolasis natin diba, gusto king malaman kung sino nga ba ang web nito kung Bureau of Fisheries ng aba? Doon sa hydro-dynamics gusto ko lamang makita ang modelo wala daw epekto. Kung may epekto man baka bagyo. Anong statement iyon? Pero sa mitigating measures may evacuation. Dahilk ba sa bagyo? Dahil bas a paghuhukay? pwede bang iqualify at ipakita ang pag-aaral ng batayan na walang epeklo ang paghuhukay. Gaano ba kalalim ang mahuhukay? 6 feeet? Gaano kalalim ang huhukayin natin? Ilan taon bago manumbalik ano ang kalagayan nito sa nesting ground ng fisheries. Panghuli po doon po sa ito po ang tanong ko po sa MGB sa EMB anong epekto nito sa kabuuan sa Manila Bay kasi ang application lang naman natin ay hindi lang naman Limay, mga several applications kasama na ang nasa Tayabas, ang nasa Batangas, pero ang daming application sa loob ng Manila Bay. Ano ibig sabihin nito sa Manila Bay hindi lang po iyon labas pa dito ang reclamation. Ano ang implikasyon nito sa Manila Bay? At may Mandamus nga ito sa Supreme Court. Tanong ko po iyan sa EMB at MBG. Maraming Salamat po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po May I ask the proponents and iyong consultants po nila regarding po dito sa fisheries bago ko tanungin iyong mga case handlers regarding doon sa reviewer at regarding doon sa asperto ng water. Sige po Maam Venice ah Sir Mel

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Sir doon na lang muna po tayo sa Fisheries noh sa review committee I think sa EMB na siguro magsasabi niyan. In fact, may mga additional informations na kailangan provide sa review committee na kailangan pa namin tugunan sa ngayon siguro kasama na din iyong prinesent kasi kasama na iyong nakitaan lang namin most significant katabi so ang sinasabi naman natin sap ag-aaral nagiging specific lang tayo kung saan iyong area natin at iyong katabi natin na nag-aapply ay may kanya-kanyang din silang pag aaral base sa restriction ng area na pinagkukuhanan nila. So with regards doon sa Fisheries sir stay muna namin siya sa ngayon sasagutin namin at may mga additional information pa rin kaming kailangang iprovide doon sa aming review committee sir

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay. May isa pang concern ano regarding sa ano daw ang basis na walang epekto sa activity ng fisheries

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

I think mayroon siyang question about sa Hydro-dynamics modeling nandito ang ating eksperto si Sir Ronald Pahunangn para explain sa atin kung bakit namin nasabi na walang epekto sa coastal pagdating sa pagtaas ng mga currents and waves. Sir Ronald please. Thank you

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Ah hello naririnig niyo po ba ako?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Yes po you have the floor sir

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Good morning po ah bali gumawa po kasi tayo ng hydro dynamic modeling kasama po doon ay ecological data highest wind speed from more than 40 years. And then ang assume po tauo ng observation points along Cavite and Bataan and based on the observations is about 100 meters to 1 kilometer. Kasi ginawa po iyan may issue dati nagkaroon daw ng erosion doon sa tabi ng dagat kasi nga po ang results po ng modeling kasi malayo po ang kung halimbawa doon sa Project site simulate pa po iyong mga waves at currents wala pong epekto doon po sa areas na malapit sa

tabing dagat. ang simulation po ay focus lang doon sa area sa tabi ng dagat po within 1 kilometer. So the modeling included waves, currents at saka iyong winds at sa tabing ilog. Iyon lang po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po maraming Salamat Sir Ronald. Si Mark Engr Mark regarding doon sa reviewer.

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Regarding sa review members natin we invite iyong expert natin sa Water and Air Quality si Engr. Reynante Morente, then si Doctor Soledad Dalisay sa Social Impact natin, si Dr. Dalisay is from UP Diliman. Mr. Oscar Cruz sa Hydrology Geology natin. Sa PAG-ASA siya si Dr. Lourdes Moreno sa Marine siya ay from UPLB. We will also invite iyong representative from EMB Region 3 Biodiversity Management Bureau, MGB, Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. And we will also invite iyong MPDO Limay, Bataan during the review meeting. So expect niyo po na sila ay aming iimbitahan kung saan ira-raise po namin itong mga issues and concerns niyo para mapag-usapan upon during review meeting. Kung may issues and concerns pa po kayo o di kaya gustong ipa invite i-suggest niyo lamang po ng sag anon tignan po namin kung pwede sila invite during our review meeting. Thank you

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po maraming Salamat sir Mark. I hope that answer the question ni Ginoong Pepe

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network- Pepe Tanchuling

Pwede pa po bang mag follow up?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po sir pwede po

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network- Pepe Tanchuling

Iyon po walang impact sa waves saan tatami ang kung di sa Limay saan pupunta iyong waves sapag-aaral nila ano po? At hindi din nasagot ang aklng tanong king poor ang Coral cover poor eh ano ngayon? Kung poor ang demersal? Ano pong ibig sabihin noon?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Um nasagot naman po sir naconsider nila. Nabanggit naman po ng ating consultant na may Additional information na hinihingi sa kanila particularly pagdating sa fisheries.

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network- Pepe Tanchuling

Dagdag ko na lang po paano nila icoconsider iyong framework matagal tagal pa naman po. Limitado ang ating batas kung Limay lang ang pag-uusapan

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Yes sir ibato natin doon sa Hydrology nila iyong kaninang nagdi-discuss po.

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network- Pepe Tanchuling

Panghuli po baka masagot po ng MGB at ng EMB sa application nito kasi ang dami na baka mawalan na ng bisyo ang mga mangingisda

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Oh sige ho. Ah sir Ronald sagutin po muna natin regarding sa waves daw at saka sa Hydrology concerns po

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Actually na explain ko na po doon po sa modeling ang assumption po natin doon ay mayroon observation points sa gilid ng iyong malapit sa lupa saka doon sa Bataan, Cavite 1 km po iyan. Kasi nga ang issue dati sa isang project ay baka daw ma erode daw iyong coastal area nila. So ang assumption po sa modeling po ay mayroon po tayong waves actually magkakron po talaga ng waves papunta po doon sa Bataan normal po iyan ang ibig ko pong sabihin is ang assumption po kasi doon halimbawa flat na ngayon ung project area so huhukayin natin pag nahukay na po siya ano po ang epekto sa magkakroon ba ng erosion doon sa malapit sa lupa may malapit din sa shore line iyon po iyong simulations po. So based doon sa results wala po siyang significance ng wave high doon po sa area na malapit sa dagat medyo malayo po siya iyan po ang results po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po maraming Salamat po sir

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Penge na lang po kami ng kopya. Salamat po.

Network- Pepe Tanchuling

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Iyon sige lets ano na lang Mark ano regarding po doon pa sa tanong ni Sir na ano daw ang magiging consequence na may ganito. Sir Mark paki enlighten lang iyong buddy particularly po iyong EMB.

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Ang main purpose ng Public Hearing na ito ay to gather iyong mga issues and concerns na kung saan ay iyong mga tanong po ay relevant questions ng stakeholders ay idadaan po natin ito sa review meeting after po nitong public hearing. Doon po sa impact ng project doon sa include sa Manila Bay we will include doon sa discussion ng ating review meeting then kung sakali po na include natin si Proponent to include possible impacts sa kanilang project as a whole kung kinakailangan po paguusapan po iyan we will consider po iyan sa review meeting sir. Then we thank you po sa suggestion niyo kasi very relevant po iyong question ni sir.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay. Thank you very much Mark. Maraming Salamat po sa Manila Bay Para sa Tao. Next po ah sir paki-lower na lang po iyong kamay para po mabigyan po natin ng opportunity iyong ibang nakapila pa. ah next po si Alvin Pura/PINSAMALA. You have the floor sir (1:41:58)

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Magandang umaga po ako po si Alvin Pura

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Pakilower na lang po iyong virtual hands natin para umuusad iyong ating. Paki assist lang po iyan. Oh sige po sir Alvin you have the floor po.

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Magandang umaga po ako po si Alvin Pura sa PINSAMALA (Pinagsamang Samahan ng Mangingisda ng Limay) at LICCI spokesperson po ng Bataan Movement. Ang dalawang punto po nasabi na po na Ka Pepe at Ka Osorio. Ah iyong sa modeling ng wave masyadong kailangan pong iyon ay ipaliwanag kasi unag una nasa public hearing dumaan na din po sa eksperto naitanong na din po namin iyan may mga study na din po na nagsasabi na malaking epekto iyan kung iyan ay maipapaliwanag ng maayos maaaring maliliwanag iyon po iyong una, saka ang unang una dapat ay comprehensive po dahil sa critical project po iyong inaaplayan nila iyon po iyong pangalawang punto ko. At iyong last na punto ko po kasi lagi nila sinasabi na pwedeng mangisda basta 200 meter pero ang lagi lang nila sinasabi account sa fisheries puro lang isda dapat kasama lahat hindi lang isda ang nabubuhay sa Manila Bay. Mayroon diyan laman dagat na pinakikinabangan katulad ng alimasag mga ganyan wala sa resource accounting na hinihgingi namin. Ang lagi lang nilang bato ito tanong ko sa Cargon dapat kung critical project siya comprehensive iyong study na ipepresent sa amin. Ako lamang po isang mangingisda at magulang ko sa pananaw ng laymans term hindi nila mauunawaan. Pero kung ipapaliwanag ng maayos baka makita nila kung ano talga ang magiging epekto nito lalo na ang paliwanang nila is malayo. Mayroon 11 km mayrron 13 km tapos maglalagay pa ng percent pero Isang expert katulad ni Dr. Silinan nagsasabi na hindi magiging silt curtain kasi gumagalaw ang bato kahit na sabihin natin na barko pero gumagalaw iyong barko eh ang sab inga niya ay 21 km or more mula doon sa paglilipatan eh hindi naman natin maaccount iyon diba?iyon lang po ang akin iyon ang emphasize ko ung framework na sinasabi ni Ka Pepe at iyong FRA dapat on science ang ating study papaano po mapapaliwanag ng proponent at ng ating MGB at EMB. Iyon lamang po maraming maraming Salamat po sa lahat (1:45:06)

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po maraming Salamat po. Okay po sa bahagi po ng ating Proponent regarding daw po doon sa resource accounting?

Engr. Venice Montemayor - Yes Atty ano with regards doon sa resource accounting sa buong

Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnic

area actually nakita lang talaga nung nagdive iyong mga pinakita nating available or nakitang mga isda. But we should really go deeper din para makita natin ang kabuuan pwede naman gawin ng Cargon Mining iyan para validate nila further ano iyong naging resulta ng aming mga pag-aaral noong May at sa kung ano iyong ngayon para masabi natin na ito lang sa ngayon that time kasi syempre ang pinag-uusapan natin at the time of sampling. Alam naman natin na masaasbi na Conclusive of the entire walang jurisdiction ang mga isda diyan at sa kung ano ma. Pwede naman iyan magawa during sa monitoring at pwede ivalidate iyan to further sa kagustuhan ng ating stakeholder na si Sir Alvin. With regards sa modeling na gusting ipaliwanag in laymans point of view na gusting maexpress ni Sir Alvin kanina para maliwanagan sila alam ko naipaliwanag na ni Sir Ronald knina kung ano iyong naging resulta sa pag-aaral sa kanya hindi ko alam kung. Sir Ronald pwede mo bang maipaliwanag upang lubos na maintindihan ng ating mga fisherfolks kung ano iyong bakit natin ginawa iyong pag-aaral ng hydro dynamics modeling at para saan iyon ano ang gusto natin malaman bakit natin ginawa iyong modeling na iyon. Sir Ronald please

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sir Ronald baka naka mute po kayo.

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Yes yes po

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Ah oo paki assist lang paki explain ulit paki reiterate natin discussion niyo kanina iyong potential impact iyong perceive impact ng project para doon sa kapakanan ng ating samagan na mangingisda. So medyo I Laymanize natin iyong discussion po ninyo kanina.

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Okay po iyong inexplain ko po iyong modeliung kasi diba maghuhukay po tayo mga ilang metro po sa seabed. Sa modeling unang scenario iyong walang hukay okay po. Sa pangalawang scenario nahukay na po siya so ano po iyong epekto magkakarron ba ng coastal erosion doon sa tabi ng lupa within 1 km shoreline of Bataan at Cavite. So nag input po tayo ng hangin amihan habagat nag input po tayo ng matataas na data ginamit po iyong amihan iyong Northwest Monsoon Southwest Monsoon Habagat iyong currents iyong tide pagtaas pagbaba ng tubig. Iyong mga ilog po iyong enclose na river po input lahat iyon saka may modeling scenarios din na kasama iyong matataas na hangin na base doon sa 40 years of data so ang results pong wala epekto doon sa tabi ng dagat sa tabi ng shoreline within 1 km medyo kasi nga po medyo malayo po ang project site natin doon sa shorelines. Iyon po iyong results. Actually, marami pong scenarios na ginawa of course doon sa malapit sa area possible po na magkaka erode po iyan doon ang sinasabi ko lang po walang erosion dahil po sa project ha of course magkakaroon ng erosion dahil sa mga alon pero dahil sa project sa paghuhukay po mismo niya pag malalim na po iyon wala po siyang derektang epekto sa erosion doon sa malapit ito sa shoreline. Iyon po iyong ibig kong sabihin.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

May follow up po ba si Sir Alvin?

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Sa akin naman kasi, opo opo naiitindihan ko naman po iyong ating expert. Mas maganda kasi ang iniemphasize ko Critical project then humihingi sila ng mga dokumento ang mining po kasi sa lupa magkaiba sa mining ng dagat. ang hinihingi namin para mas maintindihan 1 billion is the project tapos kahit 3D hindi maipakita papaano iyong modeling apaka techy natin sa panahon pero hindi natin maipakita nag anon at maintindihan ng tao sa papaano natin sila mapapayag iyon po iyong gusto kong makita. Maipaliwanag ng

maayos katulad ng Teragrail pati ng Cargo kasi hindi naman basta basta pwedeng hukayin dagat eh kami talaga sa pananaw naming hindi talaga pwede pero ipinipillit mayroon tayong tinatawag na rule pero pagdating sa visualize hindi natin maipaliwanag on papers pero pagdating sa visualize hindi natin maipakita. Hindi nga naming makita on papers eh kahit hinigini namin hindi binibigay kahit papaano intindihan naming di po ba? Iyon lang po ang hinihingi namin ng maayos magpapasalamat kami ng Malaki kng maipapalabas nila ng maayos doon. Iyon lamang po

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

So ang gusto niyo po mangyari sir na idemonstrate parang ganon

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Yes parang ganon kasi ito ay critical project.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Ah sir if I may ask kasi ang niraraise na aspeto kasi Sir Ronald kanina is particular sa project. Doon sa discussion niya sa impact sa erosion. Ano po bang anggulo ang gusto niyo pong makita kung sakali po.

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Iyon nga po diba hindi nila gagalawin iyong dagat. ngayon maghuhukay sila so pagnaghukay ano magiging model ng current, magkakaroon ba ng erosion kung may bagyo. Kung may bagyo hindi mag ooperate iyon ang pinakita nila diba hindi ba natin maipapakita na 2 years silang mag ooperate ano ang itsura parang ganon. Kasi ang mga mangingisda natin may hanapbuhay diyan pag tatanggalin ang sabi ng ano na hindi nila tinatanggal ang hanapbuhay pero sa tingin niyo po kahit malayo iyan kahit saan naman tayo katulad nito punta ka sa fishpond makakakita ka ng isda sa kaliwa maghagis ka ng bato sa kanan. Iyong kanan lang na isda ang hindi gagalaw. So ibig sabihin ecosystem iyon so kung ano gagalawin mo diyan lahat iyan mayroon magagalaw so ipakita nila para malaman natin kung ano ang mitigating measure nila hindi lang on paper. Okay po?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sir Ronald baka mayroon tayong method para mai-demonstrate iyong sinasabi niyo pong pag-aaral niyo ng mga scenario

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Actually Atty masyadong mahaba iyong report talaga kaya kino compress lang namin kasi hindi tayo matatapos kung gusyo nila sir bigyan na lang natin sila ng kopya nung mga modeling lahat para maiprovide sa kanila sa lahat naman ito naka upload sa EMB website pero if there should be need to give them extra copy we will comply. May magbabago pa kasi may mga additional information na kailangan draft pa lang naman iyong EIS report once na ma address na namin lahat at maconsider lahat and that is the time na ipapaliwanag sa ating fisherfolks during the presentation at during the information campaign to further understand the whole project before and after.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sige sige maraming Salamat. Sir alvin sigurado na po

Alvin Pura PINSAMALA/LICCI

Okay po sir. Okay po

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Makukuha naman natin iyong data. Thank you po.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Salamat sir Alvin.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po next po Ma’am Leila Cruz. Iyon pong parang nasa conference po. Okay po you have the floor po. Kung sino man po ang Leila Cruz

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Honorable Chairman iyan ng Lamay

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Ah pasensya na po, ah Kapitana, Honorable Chairman po

Hearing Officer

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Baka nakamute sila.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Baka po wala po sila at the moment. Nakataas kasi iyong kamay Hello po Mam magandang umaga po. Paki-guide po si Chairman. Iyong mga kasama niyo po diyan chairman hindi kayo tinutulungan. Paki unmute na. Iyan Magandang umaga ho hinid po naming kayo naririnig baka hindi naka join ang audio. paki assist naman ho si chairman baka grounded iyong audio ng inyong laptop sa microphone paki unplug baka may nakasaksak. Wala pa din pong audio. Pakitry po ulet. Naririnig na po malinaw na malinaw.

Kagawad Rosario Perez Lamao

Pasensya na po humihingi po kami ng dispensa. Ako po si Kagawad Rosario Perez from Lamao. Unang una marami po kaming katanungan po sana dahil kami po ay isa sa mga maaapektuahan barangay. Gusto ko ang aking sasabihin galing lamang po sa aking sarili hindi po sa pamunuan ng barangay. Gusto ko lang po malaman ang result ng Environmental Impact Assessment at iyon po bang LONO kalian po ba naibigay kasi naiitindihan naman po natin na dapat mayroon pong pinagbabasehan ang mga agencies bago po makapagbigat ng Letter of No Objection o LONO. Pangalawa po doon na sinasabing na walang mangyayaring pollution at syempre po expected na natin na magiging very positive ang proponent which is Cargon Mining Corporation dito po sa kanilang ginagawang pagrereport pero alam din po natin na hindi ito lahat totoo kaya nga kailangan po natin na mas malalim na ebidensya na manggagaling sa proponenet mismo. Una po iyong sinasabing walang pangit na environmental effect na mangyayari para naman po yatang DIyos ang Cargon para sabihin ito dahil ang mere act ng dredging will cause pollution. Alam naman po natin na seabed marami po diyan na nakalubog na mga nakalibing na pollutants and then when you dredge natural aangat lahat iyan kaya nga magkakarron ng clouding doon sa katubigan ng karagatan. May sinasabi silk curtains ang silk curtains po ang permeable so ibig sabihin labas pasok na din ang mga pollutants. Doon po kasi sa nagiging report ang ganda eh ganda para doon lang sa area nakadrawing doon lang ang dredging oo nga doon lang pero ang effect nito ay napakalayo ng mararating doon at iyong sinasabi ko kanina na iyong sa tanong na pwede mangisda unag beses namin naging bisita ang Cargon ay hindi pwedeng mangisda bakit ngayon po sinasabi na pwedeng mangisda pero may restriction so dito palang po malaking epekto na po nito sa aming mangingisda. Kaya po kami ay talagang ako po at samahan ng mangingisda ay talagang ayaw po namin sa proyektong ito iyong mga livelihood ng aming mangingisda huiwag dawa panay dito sa executive report na ito panay sabi na 100% pero wala kayong sagot puro lamang 100% pagpapatupad at ang gagawin pero walang linaw kagaya po dito po sa aming mga mangingisda sa loob po ng 2 taon apektado sila. Ang tanong ko ano ang derechang benefits sa inyo ng mga mangingisda pwera sa excise tax. Mayroon nagpunta dito na galing sa inyong kumpanya ay mayroon naman pong taxes na ibabayad ang sagot ko po ay ang taxes ay mapupunta sa mga barangay, munisipyo at sa probinsya. Ano ang direct na benefit na ibibigay walang naisagot pati din po ang pag-aaral ninyo ngayon wala rin pong malinaw na stand kung ano ang maibibigay na derecho na benepisyo sa aming mga mangingisda. Sana po ang ating DENR particularly ang EMB ay tignan niyo din ang social effect ng project na ito. Ang Manila Bay food basket imagining niyo po dito po sa aming probinsiya hindi po kami namimili ng imported na isda lamang dagat isda o anuman dahil ito po ay nanggagaling sa Manila Bay. Kung tatanggalin niyo po ang Karapatan ng mga

mangingisda sabi nga po ang Manila Bay ay para sa maliliit na mangingisda bakit po ngayon mawawalan ng Karapatan mga malilit na mangingisda. Kami po ay nakadepende lamang kung isda ang paguusapan sa mga huli ng ating mga maliliit na mangingisda hindi po kami bumibili ng (2:04:52) mga salmon o mga imported na isda kahit galing lang sa ibang probinsyas dito po kami nakadepende sa Manila Bay so bakit po ngayon parang bigla na lang papasukan ng mga ganitong proyekto na walang linaw. Sino po magsusupply ng mga isda sa buong Bataan? Sino po ang magbibigay ng hanapbuhay dito po sa aming mga mangingisda na mawawalan ng trabaho. I am asking EMB pakiconsider po ang factor na ito, ito po ay hindi madaling maisulat kundi ito po ay human experience. Sinasabi po ang Manila Bay ay protected area ang Manila Bay ay under Supreme Court Mandamus alam po ba ng Supreme Court ng Pilipinas na kailangan panatilihing malinis. Alam po ba ng Supreme Court ang proyektong ito? Dahil ang Mandamus po ay nanggaling sa Supreme Court ng Pilipinas hindi din po ito gawa ng kongreso o ng Senado at hindi din ito Presidential or Executive Order ito po ay nagmula sa Supreme Court ng Pilipinas. Ngayon napakarami pong magagandang sinasabi wala daw pong magiging constant erosion. Tao po nakakatakot pong magbitaw ng ganitong klase ng statement alam po natin ang mga nangyayari sa Ilocos o sa Cagayan Valley kung ano po ang nagiging epekto nito sa mga coastal areas wala daw pong magiging pagbabago sa takbo ng alon. Pero ang huhukayin po ninyo ay 15 meters ang tatanggalin ninyo natural ang mga buhangin sa coastal area ay pupunta doon sa lugar na walang lupa o walang laman. Doon sila mapupunta kahit po dito sa aming barangay naiintindihan ko tungkol sa alon at takbo ng hangin kasi kung kami ay andirito dito kami nakatira sa Barangay Lamao kaya po ang mga sinasabing hindi makatotohanan hindi aralin ng dito mismo sa aming lugar. Mayroon na nga po kaming nakikitang barko hindi ko po inaakusahan ang Cargoin na ito po ay kanila pero mayroon pong mga vessels na dumadaong po dito sa aming lugar na nakikita po ng aming mangingisda I don’t want accusation because I don’t have proof as of now pero titignan po natin iyan ay pupunta dito at pupunta ng Bulacan ang barko po noong mga nakaraang buwan humihinto po dito sa karagatan ng Lamao. So paano po ang sitwasyon natin dito kami po ay hindi we are not against progress, we are not against development but then we should also consider iyon pong aspeto ng environment at social status ng aming barangay Malaki laki pa po sigurong diskusyon ang ating gagawin napakahirap lang po ngayon dahil hindi tayo face to face. Limited ang time na magsasalita pero nandirito din po ang aming mga kasamahan ang mga mangingisda kanina pa silang umaga andito at iyon din daw po ang kanilang hinain. Iyon di po na huwag mawalan ang kailang pangisdaaan ang kanila daw po karapatan hindi niyo nga lanbg po makita nag anito pong uri ng proyekto ay pinaguusapan kung susundin ang ating batas although mayroon po tayong Executive Order na sabi ninyo pwede mag quarry o magmina doon sa mga lugar na hindi kasama sa mining permits may special Executive Order na kalian pwedeng gamitin ang mga lugar na iyan pero mayroon din nakasulat na magdaan sa mga ahensya at magkaroon ng masusing pag-aaral lalo na po itong Mining itong Seabed Quarry na ito ay isang environmentally critical project so hindi po namin inaasahan nag anito lang kababaw ang magiging presentasyon at ang mga pag aaral pero tintanong niyo din po sa sulat from EMB. Ano ang aming stand? Ang amin pong stand ay hindi matuloy ang proyektong na ito sana lang po hindi lamang po sa Manila Bay kung hindi sa lahat ng karagatan dahil ang ibinigay ng Diyos ay hindi dapat wasakin ng tao. Ang dapat ang

karagatan para sa mga isda para sa mga mangingisda. At ang masakit pa hahalukayin ninyo ang aming karagatan para lamang sa makapagtayo ng 2 reclamation area s Pasay at napakasakit na sabihin na ang dahilan na napili ninyo ang aming luigar para makatipid. Ano naman po bang rason iyan? Para makatipid? Marami ang mawawalan ng tarabaho ang aming mangingisda at paano na nga saan kukuha ng isda ang aming mangingisda dahil lamang sa proiect na iyan para makapagpatayo ng 2 island para sa Pasay at para din makatipid sa gastos ay hindi po katanggap tanggap. Pare pareho po tayo anak ng Diyos. Pare pareho tayong may Karapatan sa lahat ng kanyang ibinigay. At sana po huwag natin itong sirain. marami pong salamat

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Thank you very much po sa inyong diskusyon. Ibato natin muna pagdating sa concerned questions. Sa ating proponent ano may concern regarding sa silt curtains?

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes atty

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Ano bang gamit nitong silt curtains kasi ang apprehension na nairaise is baka hindi naman daw siya maging effective.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Naiitinidihan natin ang ating mga kababayan diyan sa Lamao ano sa ngayon kasi ang pinaka famous o Kilalang pagprotect ng silt ay ang silt curtain. Ang teknolohiya kasi ay nagbabago bago eh silt curtain o silt management measure ang ating ilalagay doon dahil sa pag angat ng ating teknolohiya. Sa ngayon ay ina identify natin dahil iyonn ang available na at approve naman at iyon talaga ang ginagamit sa lahat ng vessel pagdating sa dredging activity. So may na issue din si mam about sa regards sa benepisyo gusto natin i-explain dito through the Cargon Mining Sir Mel Valenzuela na explain natin sa kanya ano ba iyong eksaktong benepisyo na mabibigay hindi lang sa provincial, hindi lang sa municipality, pati na rin sa ating mga coastal barangays. Specifically, sa ating mga fisherfolks siguro si Sir Mel ang pwedeng magandang magsabi ng eksaktong benepisyo. kung ano pwedeng mailaan sa ating barangay o coastal barangay, Sir mel?

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Yes Mam Venice I would like to give the floor to Sir Nemesio Panuga.

Nemesio Panuga – Cargon Mining Conducted the IEC

Good morning po Atty. Kay Konsehala Cruz ako po iyong mag eexplain regarding po doon sa benefits. Since ako din po iyong nagconduct sa kanila ng IEC meeting actually special meeting during that time with regards to the project. Apart from doon sa binabanggit na exise tax na inexplain namin na magiging benefits as mandated by the law ipinaliwanagn din naming during that time na meetingano iyong mga derektang benepisyo na makukuha ng stakeholder particularly ng Limay Bataan iyong mga coast communities at iyong mga neighboring coimmunities. Naayon po doon sa Mining Law iyong derektang mabibigay sa kanila benepisyo ay iyon pong napapaloob SDMP o Social Development Management Program kung hindi po ako nagkakamali ang porsyento po nito ay nasa 1.5% operating cost nung project. Sp during that time nagbigay din po ako sa kanya ng example na kung paano madederive sa figure na 1.5 so for sample 1 Billion so around 30 Million po sa SDMP na budget na ito po ay derektang magbebenepisyo sa coast community at neighboring communities ginawa po itong programana na ito para madevelop o i-upgrade iyong communitures ano marami po tong aspeto maliban po doon sa pagbibigay ng posibleng livelihood sa kanila. Pwedeng may iba pang bagay sa barangay na proyekto na pwedeng maibigay itong programang ito. Ito po ang mga derektang benepisyo na mapupunta

sa komunidad. Idadagdag ko na din po ano nung panahon na inexplain po namin is sinama din namin na mayroon din tinatawag na rehabilitation fund ito po ay iyong APEP Annual Protecttion Examination Program ito po ay may kalakip na budget na mandato napapaloob sa mining law na kailangang gamitin ng company para i-improve o magconduct ng mitigating measures sa posibleng epekto ng proyekto. Ito po at ay naipaliwanag naming Mabuti siguro sa panahon na Talakayin namin ang 50% percent po nito ay natalakay po namin ang regarding sa benefits ano po, tulad din po ng nabanggit ni ano ang intention po

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Pakimute lang Barren Dawn Parungao. Sir Nem? Paki unmute po. Sir Nemecio Panuga

Nemesio Panuga – Cargon Mining Conducted the IEC

Iyon po naipaliwanag din po namin sa kanila kasi po may mga agama gam sila magkaron ng soil erosion doon sa coastal area nila ito po ay nasagot din po ng hydrologist. Pangalawa po iyong agama gam nila na mawawalan ng pagkakakitaan ang mga mangingisda. Pinaliwanag din po namin sa kanila maliban sa benepisyo na matatanggap nila. Iyong proyekto naman po ay hindi naka design para tanggalan ng pangkabuhayan ang mga mangingisda. Naipalaiwanag ko nga po sa kanila na magco exist ang proyekto at ang pangingisda sapagkat nagbigay po kami sa kanila ng visual presentation na kung matuloy ang operation ito lamang po ang radius na macacapture ng operation namin. So kaharap ko ang mga mangingisda at mga nanunungkulan Nakita naman po nila ang presentation naming so kami po ay tiwala na nauunawaan po nila ang mga paliwanag namin sa pagkakataon na iyon hangad nga namin na walang maapektuhan at anuman ang benepisyo na nauukol sa kanila na mandato ng gobyerno ay ibibigay po ng kumpanya maliban pa po iyan na tinatawag po naming na CSR o Corporate Social Responsibility ito po ay hindi mandato ng batas pero ito ay pwedeng iextend ng company na magkaroon ng proyekto sa coast community at neighboring communities ng stakeholders po natin diyan sa bayan ng Limay maraming Salamat po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po Mam may comment po kayo doon? Nakapatay po iyong mic

Kagawad Rosario Perez Lamao

Alam mo sir noong nagpunta ka dito. Ano nga ba iyon Mr. Panuga Maayos po naming kayo tinanggap dito. Hindi ko po sinasabi na iyong inexplain ukol sa taxes binanggit niyo pa ng ana 30Milllion pero ang tanong namin aside from the taxes na ihahandle ng barangay ay ano pa ba ang derechong benepisyo na ibibigay niyo po sa mangingisda. Alam niyo po iyong sinasabi ninyo naiitindihan naming iyan huwag niyong sabihin na parang hindi kami nakakaintindi baka sabihin niyo na kami ay taga baryo taga barangay pero sir nag aral din kami kagaya ninyo at siguro kung pag iintindi lang hindi ko sinasabing baka may mas puso pa

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Mam saglit lang po. May I cut niyo po mam medyo sandali lang po mam ano. Iconfine lang muna natin iyong tanong ninyo. Huwag tayo masyadong ano dito mam

Kagawad Rosario Perez of Lamao

Mr. Panuga lumalabas pa kasi na sinungaling ako

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Hindi naman ho kina clarify lang naman po natin. Huminahon po muna tayo mam ano.

Kagawad Rosario Perez of Lamao

Ano ang derechang maibibigay nila aside from the taxes they will be paying to our community ano pa ang tulong na derechong matatanggap ng mga mangingisda. Alam mo sir kaya ako naman ay ganito napapaligiran kami ng mga planta dang daming pangako ang daming magandang pangako pero ito na nga example epekto nakikita namin kitang kita namin ramdam na ramdam namin ang epekto ng mga plantang nakapaligid sa amin. Ang sabi ng EMB

mayroon kaparusahan pero ito na nga eh walang nangyayari. nakikita nararamdaman what more diyan sa gitna ng karagatan? sino ang magmomonitor diyan kami pa ba? ang dami naming assignment ang daming ibinibigay doon sa committee on health and environment ano ba namin iyan responsibilidad ba namin iyan? Kaya nga ayaw namin sa ganyang uri ng proyekto napakahirap bantayan at walang kasiguraduhan doon sa mga pinapangako. What more diyan sa gitna ng dagat. Paano namin iyan mamomonitor. Alam natin na may mga kasamahan tayo sa gobyerno na hindi ko naman nilalahat na nababaliktad ang katotohanan iyan ang aming kinakatakutan. Paano nga ba ito mamomonitor? iyan isa pang question. Lumalabas kami pa ang magmomonitor eh napakarami nan gang problema ang barangay lalo na itong pandemic sasabayan pa ng isa pang problema. Pagkatapos Sir Panuga sayang at hindi tayo magkaharap kaya nga ang gusto naming ay face to face ang maging public hearing na ito hind nga lang po nangyari dinadahilan ay ang pandemya. Iyon po ang aking tanong na huwag na pong paligoy ligoy pa marami nga po kayong sinabi sa amin pero wala po kayong sinabi tungkol doon sa derechong makukuha nil ana kayo ang derechong kausap ng mga mangingisda tungkol doon sa dereching benepisyong makukuha nila mula sa inyong kumpanya kagaya din po ng tanong ni Mang Edlin mapapakain niyo ba kung sakaling mawawalan ng trabaho direct impact mayroon din taoyong tinatwag ang indirect impact itong mangingisda sinasabi niyo po na wala sa plano ninyo na mawawalan sila o alisin ang pagiging mangingisda. Hindi po ba iyan direct impact iyan po ay indirect impact ng inyong proyekto na sila ay kahit papaano ay mawawalan ng trabaho at ano ang kalalabasan ng pamilya nila. At ano rin ang food security patungkol diyan sa laman dagat.Saan po kami kukuha? Diyan po kami umaasa huwag niyong sabihin na hindi maapektuhan ang fishing grounds dahil diyan mismo magkakalkal mismong fishing grounds na hindi lamang ang Lamao ang mangingisda kung hindi maraming mangingisda sa ibang lugar at sa mga ibang lugar sa Manila Bay kaya sir Panuga huwag niyo po kami maliitin naiitindihan po namin ang sinabi po ninyo noon ang akin po ay hind pagsisinungaling kaya iyon po kung tinatanong ninyo iyong mga question kaya iyon ang mga ibigay ko. Ano ang derechong maibibigay ninyo sa aming mangingisda? Pero hindi na dapat pinaguusapan ang proyektong ito dahil napakarami nating batas na hindi pinapagyagan ang mga ganitong uri ng proyekto lalo na ang isang nasa protected area.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po maraming Salamat. Mr Panuga baka ho pwedeng bigyan ng clarification naging statement po

Nemesio Panuga – Cargon Mining Conducted the IEC

Unang una po ay humihingi po ako ng paumanhin kay Kagawad Dela Cruz at sa mga kasama diyan sa Lamao, sa mga nanunungkulan diyan sa baranagay at sa mangingisda. Iyon pong kanina kong ginawang clarification ay hindi po ito para sabihin na sinasabi na nagsisinungaling si ano at sinagot lamang po natin kung ano po iyong deretsong benepisyo na maibibigay ng project during the operation tulad ng sinabi ko kanina bukod sa taxes na iniimpose ng both National and Local Government nag derechong maipapamahagi sa kanila ay ito iyong SDMP. So ito po iyong kasagutan ko. Ano po ang derechong benepisyo na maibibigay sa kanila? Ito po iyong mandato ng Mining Law maraming maibibigay sa kanila ng SDMP. Napapaloob po sa programang iyan tulad po noong paliwanag ko noong nakaraan pa ano. Marami po ang aspeto niyan ang nagmamanage po niyan binanggit ko sa kanila na ito ay workshop between the stakeholders, project proponent, supervise by the MGB kung anong proyekto na iimplement sa neighboring coast community. Iyong identification po tama po siguro

po iyong mga panahon na iyon hindi po kami makapag identify kung ano ang derecho pwedeng ibigay sa knila kung ano ang magfifit doon sa community na pwedeng makatulong sa knaila na livelihood na pwedeng suportahan ng SDMP. Pangalawa po bukod doon sa SDMP sa kanila na mandato ng gobyerno diniscuss ko din ang company ay mayroon pong tinatatwag na CSR ito po ay hindi mandato ng gobyerno pero ito po ay iniextend na assistance ng kumpanya na pwede pong makapag pinpoint ng project para ma improve iyong livelihood or upbeat iyong capacity ng community. makakaasa po hindi lang po sa Lamao sa buong Limay kung ano man po ang mandato ng gobyerno na pwedeng iextend sa kanilang benepisyo ay gagawin po ng Cargon Mining. Magtulong tulong po tayo ang intension po talaga namin dito ay maliban sa mga proyekto ay matulungan din iyong stakeholders iyong nasa Limay. Maraming salama po

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po Mr. Nemecio Panuga. I hope na address na natin iyong concern na clear naman diyan na apart from the taxes may SDMP and may CSR. Clarification lang Mr. Nemecio this will be discuss in another forum na lang siguro ano. Iyong details nito.

Nemesio Panuga – Cargon Mining Conducted the IEC

Yes atty actually magkakaroon po talaga ng workshop diyan. madidiscuss din po sa mga stakeholders iyan

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sige. May follow up pa po ba si Kagawad? Kasi nakaraise pa po iyong hand nila.

Kagawad Rosario Perez Lamao

Gusto ko lang po icorrect iyong pangalan. Ako po si Kagawad Rosario Perez hindi po si wala pong Dela Cruz dito. Ang amin pong kapitana is Ms Leila Cruz. Hindi po siya ang nagtanong ako po angn nagtanong. Ako po si Kagawad Rosario Perez. Salamat po wala na po akong tanong.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po. Okay paki lower na lang po iyong virtual hand natin. (2:31:19) okay po moving forward let’s take up the question of Mam Sandra Arcamo. Mam you have the floor please.

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Thank you very much pwedeng una sa lahat thank you very much for giving us the floor. Just a back track on the answer iyong sagot ng Cargon o ng proponent and EIA Preperar doon sa unang issues ng BFAR tungkol doon sa fishing ano ba ang epekto ng activity sa fisheries at ang sinagot ay Social Development. Hindi po kami satisfied doon sa sagot kasi ang tanong po namin ay bio-physical hindi po social dalawa po iyon pero hindi po naming sinasabi na hindi importante ang social development. Kumbaga kulang po kasi nga ang tanong din namin ay more din doon sa bio physical impact hindi din naman natugunan noong EIA or EIS. Ngayon iyong sinabi nila na hindi labas na iyong mandamus doon sa project nila. Of course, hindi po pwede ipawalang bisa iyong mandamus kasi idudugtong ko po doon sa aming question na ang tanong po ay iyong EIS po supposedly wholistic po iyong approach nung project nga ito ay nasa critical area. So supposedly Cheneck din nila iyong batas 2 lang po iyong nakita ko sinali iyong RA 8550 as Amended by 10654 at saka mayroon pong DILG memo circular noong 2018-59 na ang policy guidelines on monitoring fishery and activity in municipal water so hindi po naconsider doon sa legislative review nung project at gaya ng nauna na sa akin kuing ito poay EIA process sa pagkaintindi ko po ay wholistic po ang approach nito kumbaga ay prior to any decision to a project ay nirerecognize po iyong dapat identify predict mitigate iyong biophysical and other social relevant effects ng project in a critical area mas lalo pong mahirap dahil critical area po. Ang Manila Bay po ay special management area po ito po ay Under 10654 Amended by 8550 as 10654 at may pandagdag pa po may Supreme Court ruling mandamus rule na ito ay special area na hindi po pwedeng baliwalain na hindi kasama doon sa review. At ito po ay extraction

activity tama po iyon na identify nila na depleted na iyong nemersal fisheries sa area pero hindi po ito sapat na rason nila kasi extraction nga ito eh. Kukunin mo iyong bahay kabahayan ng isda at pangisdaan at pinapakita lang po ng EIS Preparer ay iyong members of the community missing po iyong connectivity iyong ecological connectivity po nung pangkalahatan miyembro ng fisheries area o iyong marine sources area. Tama po iyon na ito pong karagatan iba po doon sa kalupaan kasi nakikita niyo at medyo nababakuran iyong activities. Pero dito po sa karagatan ang medium po niya ay tubig so wala pong fix jurisdiction of boundaries na kung man po ang mangyari doon sa Limay hindi apektado ang kalapit na ecosystem or iyong buong Manila Bay iyon lang po ang kulang wala po doon sa EIS study kung ano ba talaga ang mangyayari para ng identify lang pero ano ba ang karelasyon ano connection nung isda at corals kung ano pa iyong nakikita mo doon sa baba may kadugtong ngayon iyong ang sinasabi po ang process kung naitindihan talaga namin iyong EIA Process na identify, predict kasama na din ang EMB mitigate by physical and social relevant effects of the project prior to the commitments made. Ang lagi po kasi naming naririnig ito pong public participation ay legislative din po. kailangan marinig kung ano po iyong nasa puso ng stakeholders ang compliance process so hindi po pwedeng baliwalain kung ano ung comments ng stakeholders sa EIA process. Ngayon po doon sa sinasabing one other thing sa EIA process complying on the process and on its entirety and not just following approval. Kasi parang lagi naming naririnig na cocomment na lang po iyong review committee. Kumbaga diba dapat ang every step iyon po ang pakaintindi po naming ng EIA. And it will be very laborious and very difficult to the preparer and the EMB kasi nga ito ay nasa critical area. We appeal to EMB to review all this activity in the marine area kasi diba mayroon tayong division of labor iyong mga mandates natin. And it is also clearly stipulated in the Mandamus natin kailangan po na hindi po sapat na pagkatapos kung ano narinig sa public hearing elevate doon sa review committee wala ho bang process ang EMB perceive and owe things to all the stakeholders in this public hearing? We will post that challenge to both the EIS Preparer and EMB. So iyon lang po ang ano naming. Thank you.i hope that we got all the issues that we would like to raise. Thank you

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po mam Sandra Arcamo. Okay may I just ask the proponent regarding doon sa EO nabanggit naman po iyon kanina noted naman po doon sa DILG this will be noted para po mapag aralan ng ating reviewers ano. Iyon concern regarding sa ecological connectivity? Anyone sir Mel or Mam Venice?

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes yes Atty, yes Mam Sandra good afternoon. Naiitindihan po natin ang talagang concern ng BFAR nandun naman po tayo and lahat so base po sila doon sa batas kami din naman po sa Cargon Mining ay naayon din tayo sa batas gaya po ng sinasabi natin ang GSQP po ay ayon din sa DAO 2000-25 at mayroon din tayo binabasehan na kung ano dapat at hindi dapat sa Seabed quarry na ayon sa section 15 DAO 96-40 pagdating naman po doon sa concern ni Mam Sandra we really appreciate so it is really better to really get the issues ni Mam Sandra and probably we can incorporate it in our revise EIS para sa ganoon makita talaga kasi ideya po ito ng dalawang magkaibang isang nag-aaral isang nagrereview at isang mga nakikinig lahat sila may iba ibang pananaw sa lahat so kami pong nag aaral kami ay nagdive nagreview so siguro po kung ano man po iyong studies related mas lalo naming ma improve ang aming pwede study pwede natin maconsider ang mga sinabi ni Mam Sandra sa ngayon gagawin

namin kung ano iyong nararapat, kung ano iyong tama at nalelegalize namin ang aming lahat ng pagkuha ng mga necessary permits ng lahat ng ahensya. Batay din naman ito DAO 2000-25. Iyon lamang po Atty.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Thank you very much po. Mam Sandra may follow up po ba kayo?

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Titignan na lang po naming iyong sinasabi nilang aayusin nila iyong EIS. Kasi kung tutuuysin we are not really satisfied with EIS. Follow up ko lang po kasi ang nagyari para sa scoping parang nauna na iyong paghingi ng area clearance bago po tayo dumaan dito sa EIA kasi parang later na lang na sought na ay kailangan pala to sa EIA itong activity na ito. And I support the comments of LGU si Kagawad Rosario po simple pero talagang tumbok po iyong issue dito. Thank you very much.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po thank you Mam Sandra. Let’s move po tayo sa ating ibang mga kasama Sir Derek Cabe?

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Sorry po sorry ah Mark?

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Yes po Mam Sandra

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo May nakalimutan pala ako. Kasi iyong sinasabi nilang royalty eh very clear naman may contradiction kasi contradiction iyong sinasabi nila, ang end product kasi ng extraction na ito ay filling material so why are you raising the hopes the LGU na may royalty silang makukuha kung mayroon kayong makikita na economically important minerals but that’s not the objective of this activity. Ang inaano niyo lang ay extraction ng sand for filling material. So iyon lang po parang false hopes for the stakeholders that they will get royalties if there will be important minerals that will be extracted. Of course, that is also known. Ang Core examples ang Manila Bay I don’t think there are important minerals in Manila Bay. Thank you.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige sige balikan natin iyong proponent doon ano.(2:44:43) sige ah Sir Mel, I think iyong nagdidiscuss kanina Mr. Nemecio Panuga?

Nemesio Panuga – Cargon Mining Conducted the IEC

Yes Atty mukhang si Atty Ensomo na po ang magpapaliwanag with regards to royalty.

MGB – Atty. Alilo Ensomo Good morning Atty Jed. May clarify lang ako kay Mam Sandra about the royalty. Kasi based on the Mining Act iyong mga Offshore Area are considered as mineral conservation so kung may extraction within those area the permitee or the contractor are required to pay a 5% royalty. This will be collected by and remitted to the National Treasury and in return ibabalik iyan sa LGU as internal revenue allotment share from National wealth. So iyon ay based on the law and it is also stipulated in the permit issued by the Secretary to the contractor. Thank you

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Thank you maraming Salamat po sa clarification mula sa MGB. I hope na address na natin iyon. So lets move forward Sir Derek Cabe

NFBM – Derek Cabe Ah thank you sir.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Babae ka pala.

NFBM – Derek Cabe Ah opo. Ako po Derek Cabe mula posa Nuclear Fee Bataan Movement at Kilusan Bataan. Ako ang tanong ko po since una for the proponent have you identify any alternative doon sa Seabed Quarry if the need is only for the filling material na panambak lang sa reclamation? So that’s one so sinasabi niyo din na heavily silted iyong Manila Bay so parang putik iyong nasa Manila Bay. 2nd ah kaugnay pa rin sa putik syempre iyong putik ay iba pa iyong sinasabi na pwede pong kumalat nakahalo iyong putik at buhangin pwede pong kumalat sa water column tapos kapag umulan kapag iyong mga ilog anod noon sa Manila Bay iyong putik na suspended materials ito po iyong tinatawag natin total suspended materials na

nakahalo po sa water column, ano mangyayari doon po sa suspended materials? gaano po kalayo? Hindi ko po siya Nakita doon sa explanation? Gaano kalayo iyong pupuntahan nito at doon po sa mga sediments na ito pwede pong sumipsip nito iyong pollutants eh. Considering that iyong Limay and other municipalities like Mariveles ang dami pong mga heavy pollutants iyong coal and iyong refinery. Kapag binungkal natin maaring bumalik sa water column iyong mga heavy metals at pwede pong kumalat sa marine resources (2:48:25) at sa mga micro-organisms na maaring makaapekto sa marine resources kahit po sa mga isda. Halimbawa, iyong mga hinuhuli ng ating mga mangingisda pwede din at possible din na macontaminate ulit itong mga marine resources na kinakain at hinuhuli ng ating mga mangingisda. So iyon po iyong pangalawa kong tanong. Kaugnay po sa Silt curtain kagaya po ng sinabi ni Kagawad Rory Perez na permeable iyong silt curtain gaano po ba kalalim iyong ilalagay na silt curtain ano at iyong dissolve components I’m sure hindi po kayang pigilan iyong dissolve components lalo na iyong mga heavy metals components na nadissolve at nasa water column. Paano po nila ito pipigilan? at iyong pangatlo ko pong question. And then iyong pang apat sa EMB baka pwede kami mga request na kung pwede po bang makadalo o maka attend iyong mga organization sa review committee. Pwede po ba kami doon sumama? Panglima ay iyong para sa LGU at ang Fish Audit po ng Limay ay bagsak wether we accept it or not pero bagsak ang Audit ng Limay so magdadagdag pa tayo ng other problems ng ito pong Seabed Quarry?. Ano po iyong plano natin diyan? iyong panglima ay tungkol sa adaptation plan nagmodeling tayo sa Hydro dynamics, paano niyo inancalcate o sinali iyong usapin pong climate? paglala sa krisis sa klima. So mayroon po tayong dapat climate adaptation plan. Nakapagconsult po ba tayo sa agencies para po diyan. Hindi ko pa po Nakita ka po iyong mga isda na Nakita biological data aduit dito ano putik mayroon po tayong naninirahan sa putik iyon pong mga buttom dwellers iyon talagang nasa ilalim ng dagay. Ilan po ba sila? maaari ba silang makabalik? Iyan po ay basic questions na gusto ko pong iparating sa inyo. Iyon po Salamat po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po for the proponents po

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes Atty and Mam Derek. For the alternative I think si Sir Mel of Cargon ay may 5 issues kasi si Mam Derek eh possible alternative areas for dredding ano then next is iyong turbidity with regards doon sa dredging process. And then iyong sedimentation modeling and then for the EMB can also include the and then the Hydro dynamics modeling, dito muna tayo sa Alternatives. I think si Sir Mel from Cargon is the best person to answer iyong alternatives. Sir Mel?

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Yeah Good Afternoon po ulit. Mam Derek with regards doon sa alternative source since ang application namin and Agreement namin is with PHCC area we are confined sa area namin lang sa application namin na sa GSQP so hanggang doon lang po iyong masasagot ko so maybe iyong PHCC ay may other we don’t have any information. Pollutants na pupunta sa water column. Ano po ba iyon water column na sinasabi ninyo? Iyon po ba iyong drinking water sa Limay kung iyon po ay hindi naman po natin madidisturb iyong water column fresh water po iyon manggagaling sa river mismo precipitated water na galing sa ulan na nagfefeed doon sa ground na nagsisilbing tubig. Silt curtains dissolve components hindi ko po alam kung ano iyong dissolve components na sinasabi niyo but I would think na iyong precipitates ng mud na pagna disturb ang magkakaroon ng alikabok effect baka iyon ang minimention ni Mam Derek. Iyo po kapag nadisturb po iyan ay parang garapon ng asukal

pagkahinalo po ninyo iyong garapon na may asukal iikot po iyon kung precipitate po nya kung mayroon pong boundary katulad ng silt curtain 90-95% magstay lang doon sa area na iyon na mayroon siyang boundary permeable na minimention nila regarding sa silk curtains I think talagang po ganon may butas po ang silk curtains magflow po to and from iyong tubig doon sa area na magkakaroon ng activity. iyon lang po iyon pong 4 s EMB at number 5 sa DILG. Thank you

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Ah sir may isa pang concern regarding doon sa dissolve component

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Yes sir. Go ahead

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Paano kaya ma address iyon kasi hindi naman siya kaya ng silt curtains.

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining Corporation

Iyon nga po sir iyong dissolve components na iyon I think it’s near the shore. Iyong sinasabi nil ana precipitate ng coal ay nandoon po siya sa shore which is malayong malayo doon sa area namin hindi po aabot doon sa area namin ang precipitate ng Coal.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Regarding sa Climate adaption plan

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining

I would pass it to our consultant.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes oo actually si Sir Ronald kasi iyong gumagawa ng ating Hydro dynamics modeling. I think si Mam Derek is also asking about the hydro dynamics modeling with consideration doon sa climate change adaptation. So sir Ronald parespond na lang kay Mam Derek please. Thank you.

Hydrodynamics Modeling Preparer - Ronald Pahunang

Yes. Magandang tanghali po iyong concern po sa climate change kinonsider na po iyon nasa report na po iyon. Iyong pag increase ng rain speed at rainfall modeling saka iyong tinanong po kung gaano po kalayo umaabot ng dispursion po ng ano gumawa po tayo ng sedimentation modeling po malayo talaga pong abutan niyan ilang kilometro po iyan kung wala po tayong silt curtain however king mayroon po tayong silt curtain maminimize po iyong pagdispurse po nun. So sa report po nandun po iyong mapa na ano na malayong maabot nun kung wala talangang mitigating measures. Iyon lang po thank you po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sir Mark regarding dun sa concern regarding sa ano sa review.

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Yes Atty as regard to review committee members as a resource person we will inform the management kung pwede isama iyonng ating concern NGO. However, as of now confirm na invite natin si MPDO ng Limay so if pwede lang po kung maaari ichat na lang po iyong email ni MPDO sag anon mainvite po naming siya and just in case ng mayroon pa pong concerns iyon pong ating NGO pwede niyo pong ibigay kay MPDO para ng sa ganon po siya ang iyong magrelay during our review meeting

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sige maraming Salamat. I think that’s it now ah Mam Derek may follow up po ba kayo?

NFBM – Derek Cabe Ah sir iyong sinasabi ko pong water column is the surface between the ocean surface saka po doon sa ilalim so ah so may ilan din kasi kaming mga pag-aaral na iyong mga industries ay heavy pollutants na magdischarge sa water itong mga ito ay nakahalo sa tubig at kapag nagbungkal possible din po siyang madisturb o humalo sa paghukay gaya ng sa alikabok. Ganon din po kapag umuulan di po ba iyong contributory rivers at may mga dinadalang alikabok o sediments ito po iyong sinasabi natin non paano po natin mapipigilan iyon> siguro naman hgindi natin mapipigilan iyon po iyong mga concerns namin na pwedng macontaminate sa mga

marine resources na hinuhuli ng mga mangingisda at kinakain ng mga kagaya ko kahit hindi po ako mangingisda noh. At iyong isa ko pa pong follow up sana kasi we have filed a petition iyong po ating mga residents in Limay and Bataan at saka iyong mangingisda ay mayroon pong tinawag na petition last June sa BFAR sa DENR EMB sa local government and provincial ng Limay so ano po ba iyong magiging value nito sa review since sa public consultation hindi ko alam kung mayroon talagang public consultation even when the LONO was issued. pero parang wala talaga. parang whats the value iyong ano ang magiging value nito samantalang ang main stakeholders have already said their face mayroon na silang decision so iyon lang po. Thank you.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po Derek Cabe naipabatid po ang concerns po ninyo at least noh ma i-note po natin sa gagawin na pag evaluate ng application, sige po let’s move forward po. Siguro po due to lack of time siguro po hanggang doon po tayo until kay Arlene Morales na lang ano. So sige sir Zalde Porlaje? You have the floor po please.

BFAR Rene Zalde Porlaje Hello Atty Ang am I audible? Am i?

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Umm yes yes.

BFAR Rene Zalde Porlaje May 4 question po ako na ibabato po. Una po para kay Sir Valenzuela ng Cargon. Sinasabi niyo po kanina hindi po kasali ang BFAR sa pagsecure ng area clearance for the applications ang tanong ko po ano pong legal basis na hindi po kasali ang BFAR kasi based doon sa BFAR DAO 2000-25 section 11-C nandoon po ang BFAR kasama po ang BFAR sa listahan. Ang for Engr. Montemayor halos lahat ng EIA findings puro wala po kayong nakikitang impact sa fisheries, corals, marine o sa lahat ng aspeto ng project? Paano po ba kayo nag conduct ng risk assessment kasi ang risk assessment po ay maroon po iyan livelihood consequence and severe consequence so mayroon po iyan catastrophic major, moderate at minor insignificant and extreme moderate o low so kung may extreme po dapat include natin yan sa pagpatuloy ng project and I have 2 questions for EMB 1 kung sakaling matuloy po ang project na ito mayroon po bang environmental compliance application ang proponent o preparer na focus on harm avoidance, continuous consultation including adaption and professional ethics? And iyong number 2 pagdating sino po ba ang nagdodocument ng public scoping o public hearing? Is it the proponent or the EMB kasi pagdating po sa public hearing ayos ang ating mga questions pero pagdating sa valid naman ang ating mga questions pero pagdating po sa environmental impact assessment review committee nababago po ang naisusulat so medyo nalilihis at nawawal iyong validity. (3:04:36) iyon po Salamat.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay sige unahin na natin iyong ano kay Sir Mel regarding daw sa legal basis daw sa exclusion ng BFAR sa issuance ng LONO requirement?

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining

Yes thank you Atty Jed. As I mention before nung una kong sinagot ay the provisional GSQP permit awarded to as by DENR hindi po kasama ang BFAR as one the government agencies that we need to secure area clearance iyon lang po

BFAR Rene Zalde Porlaje Ah Hello sir Valenzuela kasi dito nga sa DAO 2000-25 Section 11 area clearance for GSQP applications sabi ah the applicant upon GSQP with government reclamation project shall secure area clearance for the proposed sites to the following agencies iyan una MGB, PRA, pangatlo ang BFAR ito iyong Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resource. Ano po na hindi kasali ang BFAR sir?

Aeschylus Valenzuela -Proponent Cargon Mining

As I mention before Sir Rene the GSQP permit given to us the provisional GSQP given to us does not include BFAR that we have

Corporation to secure clearance from BFAR.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Siguro I noted na lang natin iyon isalang na lang natin sa review iyan the let them decide ano dahil sa requirement nga naman iyong niraise ni Sir Zalde is based naman sa existing regulation. However ito naman sila Sir Mel they have document issued by the MGB given as well so this is not the forum to interpret and to harmonize dun sa issuances at the moment ano at the moment. Let’s allow the review committee members to decide but anyway Sir Rene tiwala naman po na icoconsider naman po iyon. As for the 2 question Mark ano for EMB

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

As regards to ECC wala pang tayong nadadraft na ECC for this project kasi under review palang po sila as regards po sa public hearing report ang ating preparer and proponent under by law required sila magsubmit ng ang public hearing proceedings and of course Atty Jed will submit his public hearing report to be posted po sa emb website just to clarify. Thank you.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming salamay po ano so sa ngayon Sir Zalde ano we hope na nasagot po namin iyong tanong po ninyo. May dagdag pa po ba kayo may follow up pa po kayo before I move to the last inquirer.

BFAR Rene Zalde Porlaje Ah sige po sir para po sa number 2 para kay Engr Montemayor

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Umm sige sige oo nga pa nakalimutan ko.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Oo nakalimutan mo kami Atty. So anyway.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po Mam Venice

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Good afternoon sir Rene ano regarding doon sa EIA findings ano actually kaming mga consultants sumusunod kami doon sa tinatawag nating technical scoping checklist iyon po ang aming terms of references pagdating sa pagsasagawa ng aming pag-aaral lalong lalo na pagdating sa marine ecology and other modules so kung ano iyong nirequire sa amin after additional information so iyon pa iyong ginagawa namin. Sa ngayon base sa amin unang pagsusumite or iyong draft lahat naman nung sa technical scoping checklist in terms of references ay nasagot naman naming Sir ng isa isa should there be any additional inputs from your end siguro makakatulong iyon na sa finalization ng EIS report. Thank you sir.

- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Sige po ah sir Rene?

BFAR Rene Zalde Porlaje Thank you sir Atty Ang iyon lang kasi hindi lang kami satisfied sa mga findings kasi base doon sa Marine nagpresent po si Dr. Florence Unta iyong sonographer ng UPSI reside ko lang po ha nagconduct po sila ng study doon sa the 3rd deepest streams iyong world Philippine Trails Nakita po nila na mga tao activites po ng mga tao may impact din kahit na ganon kalalim ang dami pong basura Nakita sa Philippine trails na doon what more kung dito po sa project na ito na sinasabi nilang walang impact o wala silang nakitang impact. So iyon lang po kami ay hesitant sa findings. Thank you.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Thank you sir Rene ano at least noted po natin iyon. Sa proceedings natin. Pakisuyo lang po doon sa ibang participants na hindi nakamute. Medyo nadidisrupt po iyong recording po natin. Pakisuyo na lang kina Neil at Emily para po mabigyan natin ng daan iyong nagtatanong po.

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Hello Mark, Mark follow up lang doon kay Rene BFAR din ito

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Go ahead mam

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Short lang ito very short ah we really rely na Documentation kaya

nga sabi ni Rene pagdating po doon sa review committee eh masyado ng summarized hindi namimissed out na po iyong and reminder to our EMB colleagues kasi parang lumalabas talaga na it’s just aring the sentiments of the stakeholders na kung tutuusin na ang public hearing is main component of EIA so how will this be translated to a document or a decision something dapat lang iyong review committee ang magdedecide eh it’s even EMB who should decide in the long run so iyon lang ang ano namin ano ba ang process kasi all the steps are very important and connected. Thank you very much.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Opo mam for information po lang din po ano verbatim naman po iyong documentation na pinoprovide ng ating korum under the supervision. Ah Mark paki enlighten lang si Mam.

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Yes Atty iyong about sa process wait lang iyong decision kasi dadaan muna sa process ng EIA at the same time ang ating opisina ay magdedecide after ng proseso ng EIA. Just like sa prinesent ko kanina sa flow chart na kinakailangan natin i-conduct ung public hearing para malamang iyong issues and concerns tapos dadaan ito sa review the after the review eendorse natin sa ating mga boss sa mga signatory sila magdedecide kung dedeny or approve ang kanilang ECC so iyon po magbabase lng po tayo sa tawag dito sa ating EIA.

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Im sorry mark but haven’t seen any projects tapos denied. Im sorry kasi dito sa Marine that’s why BFAR is persistent kasi ito naman iyong mandato namin. So, you cannot deny as our mandate. Thank you very much

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Yes Mam noted po iyon ang sa amin lamang eh kinakailangan lang naming idaan sa proseso iyong ECC application nun gating ECC applicants po.

BFAR- Sandra V.R. Arcamo Yes we also rely but the process is sorrow. Thank you very much.

EMB- Mark Tuliao – Case Handler

Noted po mam.

ISANTA500EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po. Magquestion po si Mam Arlyn Morales

BFAR 3 Arlyn Morales-Mendoza

Yes po good afternoon po good noon na po for this meeting. Ako po im taking on behalf of sa BFAR ng Region 3 sa Pampanga so medyo mixed up po ang ating mangingisda po (3:14:02) (audio inaudible) medyo sandy po siya so I believe po itong public hearing kasi po iyong mga public document na naprovide hindi accessible sa mga nag attend and I guess I was looking for po ng chapter 5 ng social development program natanong ko po kasi before nandun po ako sa minutes before kung may compensation nga mismo na ibibigay kasi di po ba mga projects na ganito minsan sab inga po ni Mam Sandy may mga halos tuloy pa din po kahit na may tumotutol now we’ll be leaving this project iyon pong compensation para po sa mga mangingisda (audio inaudible) hindi din po nila nakikita. Kaya palagay ko po itong huli hindi pa po sapat ah nasagot iyong mga answers ng stakeholders so I would like to lumapit po sa mangingisda at tanungin kung ano iyong equivalent compensation na pwede po nilang makuha para po sa kasi po apektado sila sa tatayong project hindi naman po natin maikakaila po iyon dahil po kapag corporation Malaki naman po iyong barko and aside from that all the fisheries or other sector po na pwedeng maapektuhan so nirerequest ko po sa proponent na magsawa po ng pag aaral how to generate the compensation that will delegate po doon sa mangingisda po ng Limay. Para po mas kumpleto po iyong study palagay ko naman pagnakita naman po nila ang mga benefits sa kanila sa ating mangingisda ay kahit papaano naman po ay makita nila iyong kalinawagan na patutunguhan po ng proyektong ito. Iyon lamang po at maraming Salamat.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Maraming Salamat po sir I think this is under Mr. Nemecio Panuga. Anyone from the proponent please.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes Atty oh siguro sagutin ko na din on behalf of Mr. Nemecio ano. Tama naman din naman si Mam Arlyn pero nabanggit din kanina ni Mr. Nemecio na iyong kanilang Social Development Management Program ay subject pa din sa collaboratrion ng paguusap ng maapektuhan ng mga mangingisda kung mayroon man para king ano man ang dapat matugunan para sa kanila. Ito naman anag Social Development Management Program o Plan allotted is naayon sa batas na kailangan iyan ay tugunan at gampanan ng ating mga proponent. So pagdating po sa final compensation doon po natin siya makikita sa final na paguusap kung ilan po ang maapektuhan hindi lamang po dito nagtatapos sa ganito po lamang mahaba pa po ang proseso nito so magkikita at magkikita pa din ang mga stakeholders especially ang fish sectors kung ano po ang karampatang fair na valuation po para po sa kanila. Iyon lamang po. Nabanggit din po ni Sir Nemecio iyon kanina for the SDMP. Thank you.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay thank you very much. Ah Mam Arlyn may follow up pa po ba kayo?

BFAR 3 Arlyn Morales-Mendoza

Wala na po sir Maraming Salamat.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Pansin ko nagraise ulet si Young Bataeños siguro this will be the last question will be entertaining this afternoon. Sige sir you have the floor po.

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network- Jet

Hello po ano magandang tanghali po sa ating lahat. Pakilala po muna ako. Ako po si Jet mula po sa Young Bataeños for Environmental Network po o isa po akong kabataan na may advokasiya sa ating kalikasan. At ako po ay isang kabataan na naninirahan po dito sa bayan ng Limay na kung saan naman po ay may napipintong pagkaquarry sa pag-unlad kuno. Unang katanungan ko po sabi po kasi kanina sa presentation is sa direct impact napag-aralan na po sa pagdating ng karagatan, sa lupa, sa tao so isa na din po dito ang direct impact ang ano mga mangingisda ho. Ilan ho bang mangingisda ang magsasuffer? Ilan ho bang mangingisda ng Limay ang papahirapan? Ilan ho bang mangingisda ng Limay ang mawawalan ang kabuhayan? Sabi po kasi para po sa presentation para ho gumanda ang pagkaexplain nila pwede naman daw po mangisda ang mangingisda sa location. So hindi ho ba na parang kalokohan na mangingisda ho ang mangingisda sa lokasyon na pinagmiminahan habang ang karagatan ho ay maingay o nabubulabog. So nasaan ang isda? Habang ang karagatan ho ay Malabo. So nasaan ang isda? May mahuhuli ba ang mangingisda? hindi ho ba? Dagdag ko na rin ho dito ah sa DENR po hindi ko po dito sinasabi o pinopoint in na inaprubahan na po ninyo ang quarry mining ang akin lamang po hanggang kailan magsasuffer ang kalikasan? Para po sa ganitong proyekto? Sorry po ang emotional ko bilang isang kabataan eh ang sakit ho kasi mamulat sa isang lipunan na gantio ang nangyayari. Paano po ang kinabukasan namin? Sinasabi ho ng korporasyon na may scholarship para sa mga kabataan. Scholarship? Para saan ho ba? Alam mo iyon wala na po kaming pakialam sa scholarship kasi ang silbi ho ng scholarship kung wala na kami kinabukasan? Nag-aaral nga kami scholar nga kami dahil sa inyo pero iyong impact ng climate change kami iyong nahihirapan. Hindi ho ba? Asan naman ang hustisya? DENR tinatawag ho siya na departamento para sa kalikasan at ang Cargon Mining is korporasyon ang proyekto po ay galing sa National. So sino iyong nagsuffer? ang masa, ang mahihirap, ang kinabukasan naming mga kabataan, ang mga mahihirap na sector na mangingisda. Nakakagalit ho bilang isang

kabataan. ang sakit ho bilang isang kabataan ang ganitong nangyayari ano hopefully po na masagot po ninyo ang mga katanungan ko. Ayaw ko na po kasing magsalita kasi masakit sana po naiitindihan niyo ko. Salamat po.

EMB- Atty. Jed Ang – Hearing Officer

Okay po maraming Salamat po. Paki Reiterate iyong naging discussion from the proponent regarding doon sa benefits una. sir Mark Paki Reiterate sa process natin sa guidles then after magdiscuss iyong ating proponent regarding doon sa una sa environmental impact doon sa turbidity and iyong Mark sa process natin sa guidelines natin. Ah proponent please you have the floor.

Engr. Venice Montemayor -Preparer Teragrail Geology and Geotechnics

Yes sir Salamat sa Kabataan ano kay sir naiitindihan natin iyong Young Bataeños concerns po nil ana sinasabi na ito naman pong activity natin ay temporary langnaman po ito. Hindi naman po ito pangmatagalan. Quarry activity natin ay pag lalaanan natin ito ng kaungkulang ah ano iyong tawag dito iyong equivalent po sabi po kanina ni sir Nemecio paguusapan, pag-uupuan ng mga bawat sector kung ano ba ang naararapat at naayon po sa ating fisheries ano. Inuulit ko po ito po ay temporary lang po na activity hindi naman po ito pang habang buhay sabi pa nga po Malaya pa din po tayong makakapangisda pinag -iinagat lang naman po tayo na huwag makalapit sa mas malapiyt pa sa 200 meters doon sa area pero bagamat ayon po sa batas na kailangan pong tugunan at icomply iyon po ang gagawin natin pagdating sa imnplementation ng Social Development Management Program as well as other environmental measures sa area po. (3:23:27)

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

direct impact...kalupaan, hangin, tao ….walang impact sa pangisdaan at isda?

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN Hindi gaanong makakaapekto,direkta lang na epekto sa corals and others organism sa karagatan

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

refence manila bay dat nsap 2017

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

qualify hindi gaano makaka epekto?

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN direct impact sa tubig Hindi imposible yon

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

walang epekto...ano po ang pag aaral ditto?

Jun Diaz kung patay na ba ang corals, makakatulong ba ang dredging para mabuhay ulit ang mga corals?

Derek Cabe - NFBM kapag dinredge po ililibing na niya ang natitirang corals ibig bang sabihin pag walang corals, walang isda o marine life?

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN ineexplain palang Yung proyekto Kita na Yung kawawang kinabukasan naming mga kabataan

Derek Cabe - NFBM gaano kalalim ang ilalagay na silk curtain? permeable ang mga silk curtain, so paano yung mga dissolve components na tatagos sa curtain? mapipigilan ba ito?

Jun Diaz base ho sa pagaaral nila, wala ng buhay na corals. meron po bang ibang pagaaral na nagsasabi na may mga buhay pa? o haka haka lang po

Derek Cabe - NFBM maraming mga heavy metal components dahil given ang character ng Limay maraming mga industriya..so mabubulabog ito. pano ito?

Derek Cabe - NFBM hahalo ito sa mga marine resources na kakainin gaya ng isda

Jun Diaz anu pong mga heavy metals itong to mga to?

Derek Cabe - NFBM yung mga galling po sa industriya..mga dissolve components na nasa dagat..gaya po ng mga polychromatic hydrocarbon..mga persistent pollutants po

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

poor condition ...mayrun corals...pwede rehab pa

Derek Cabe - NFBM remember may coal plant at refinery po dito

Jun Diaz yung coal plant po ba at yung dredging pareho ng proyekto

Moc Avellanoza |YBEAN panu wala buhay na corals? anu pa ang iba organismo meron sa site? dahil malinaw sa mga magulang namin mangisngisda marami sila nahuhuli dyn sa propose site

Jun Diaz hindi po ba mas makakatulong kung matnggal ang basura sa manila bay

Derek Cabe - NFBM hindi po kayang pigilan ng silk curtain ito na posibleng humalo sa isda hindi naman basura ang tatanggalin ng cargon

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN san ho nanirahan yung mga isda na magpasahangang ngayon ay pinagkukuhaan ng KABUHAYAN NG mga mamamayan dito sa limay?,(patay daw ang corals)

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

demersal poor...kaso pelagic ang dominant species ang manila bay at ang limay

Jun Diaz dpat magkaroon din ng kaukulang pag aaral ang mga ngo para marebutt natin yung basis nila

Derek Cabe - NFBM meron naman ba kayong primary data on the marine organisms na meron ditto, perhaps biological data para Makita anong marine life ang tatamaan?

Moc |YBEAN panu wala magiging epekto? ilan lang ang sakop ng municipal water para pangisdaan?

Jun Diaz mababawasan ho ba ang red tide sa manila bay pag nabawasan ang basura through dredging?

Jun Diaz kung may negative effect po, anu ang gagawin para mawala at anu naman ang positive effect?

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN walang magiging epekto sa mangingisda? 2yrs na proyekto,lalabo Ang KARAGATAN base nga iyan SA pag-aaral ninyo,tapos pwede padin mangisda Ang mga mangingisda sa location pero Yung location nabulabog na Yung dagat malabo na,Yung isda Wala na.

Jun Diaz may programa ho ba para sa communities

Gio Gila Magandang tanong yan sir Jun Diaz

Jun Diaz may posibilidad ba na babalik ang sigla ng pangisdaan kung mabawasan ang basura sa manila bay?

Derek Cabe - NFBM bakit kailangan pa nito e dati naman self reliant ang mangingisda at mayaman na ang bayan ng Limay. remember 3rd or 2nd richest sa Pilipinas

Jeff/YOUNG-BEAN: walang silbi Ang scholarship Kung Wala na KAMING kinabukasan! at Kung patuloy itong sinisira! -kabataan

Derek Cabe - NFBM kahit ang Lamao ay nasa pinaka mayamang barangay

Jun Diaz may study na po ba ang mga ngo at bfar sa status ng coral reefs dun sa project nila?

Mark Plazo Ano ang mga benipisyo na maiibigay ng companya para sa probinsya ng Bataan at Municipaliad ng Limay?

Jun Diaz kasi po sila may study. dpat magkaroon din po tayo para malaman din natin at masabing hindi totoo ang study nila yung benipisyo ho ba pwedeng derecho na sa fisherfolks

NELSON DAVID Please provide the LGU Limay the presentation material. Pls email to [email protected]

Rick Lopez Nakakatulong po ang dredging o yung proyekto sa pag rehabilitate ng Manila Bay?

Edgardo Gomez Ang BFARMC po sa bayan ng Limay ay binubuo ng 13 pangulo at ang layunin po ng bawat isa ay para pangalagaan ang karagatan na nsasakupan ng aming bayan, mahigpit po naming ipinagbabawal ang pangingisda ng mga commercial at illegal fishing ditto dahil sila po kasi ang nakakasira ng mga corals, itlogan, tirahan ng mga isda at iba pang yamang dagat. Isa pa ang

posibleng pagkakaroon ng pagguho ng lupa sa ilalim ng dagat na magiging dahilan upang makaapekto sa ating mga pinangangalagaang fish sanctuary. Ngayon kung aming pong papayagan ang QUARRYING PROJECT na ito eh para saan pa ang aming pagsasakripisyo upang matulungan ang bawat mangingisda na ditto lamang umaasa ng kanilang pang araw-araw na gastusin? Salamat po

Derek Cabe - NFBM isda pa lang ang binigay nila study..hindi lang naman isda ang nasa dagat hindi ba maingay ang dredging..which ang mga marine resources ay sensitive

Jun Diaz may study po ba ang NFBM para masabi po natin na mali sila?

Derek Cabe - NFBM hindi po kami ang proponent sir..sila po ang tanunging nio marami na po kaming tanong

Jun Diaz kaya nga po kasi sabi nila walang impact base sa study nila

Derek Cabe - NFBM baka mainam sa kanila niyo idirect ang mga tanong niyo sila ang maghuhukay sa dagat

Jun Diaz pero sinasabi natin meron. pakitaan po natin sila ng dokumento na mali sila

Derek Cabe - NFBM saka sa fisheries code may preference po dapat sa mga mangingisda Lalo na inside the fishing waters ito

Jun Diaz kasi po sila ang paniniwalaan dahil may study sila

Derek Cabe - NFBM ang dami nga pong tanong na wala sa study nila

Jun Diaz ang BFAR ho ba may study dun sa corals sa area?

Derek Cabe - NFBM nababasa niyo po ba ang mga tanong namin? o gusto niyo lang paniwalaan ang sinasabi nila meron pong Manila Bay coordinating body, meron po silang mga data at ang BFAR sila po ang mga agencies

Jun Diaz binabasa ko nga po at nakikinig din

Derek Cabe - NFBM good

Jun Diaz anu po ang sabi sa data nila? para po ipakita natin sa kanila

Derek Cabe - NFBM scroll back na lang po kayo saka ngayon lang nila pinakita itong study na ito wala pa po silang binibigay na dokumento prior to this meeting

Jun Diaz pwede po kayang ishare dito yung study ng bfar o ng ngo sa kalagayan ng limay meron ba silang rehabilitation program o safety program? panu ho mamomonitor yung ginagawa nila

Derek Cabe - NFBM sabi nio noon di pwedeng payagan ang mga mangingisda for safety

Moc |YBEAN mr jun diaz mukha ngayon lang kayo umatend ah at malayo ang kaalaman nyo na present ng DILG thru fisca nanatatanadaan ko mababa ang score ng lgu limay at need development... kung isa kayo sa lider mangingisda mandate nyo po yan alamin lahat ng tanung nyo

Derek Cabe - NFBM there is a BFAR denial of the permit base sa SC Mandamus

Gio Gila Ano ang aspeto o programa ang mabibigay ng CARGON upang makatulong sa komyunidad?

Mark Plazo ano ho yung SC mandamus?

Derek Cabe - NFBM Supreme Court Mandamus to Clean Up Manila bay

Jun Diaz yes sir moc ybean. nagbabasa din po ako. pati kalagayan ng manila bay. kung napakasama ng kalagayn ng manila bay ngayon at sasama pa kung may operation dun, dpat natin tutulan. pero

kung makakatulong ito na maayos ang manila bay at mabuhay ulit ang coral reefs bakit hindi natin suportahan

Rick Lopez Hanggang saang sakop ho ang SC Mandamus?

Mark Plazo may nagawa napo bang pag lilinis ng manila bay ?

Derek Cabe - NFBM buong Manila bay

Jun Diaz sinasabi nila wala ng coral reefs base sa study nila. sinasabi natin meron pa at buhay pa, pero wala naman tayong pagaaral. baka mapagkaitan natin fisherfolks na maimprove ang pangisdaan

Derek Cabe - NFBM bale paglilinis po na ang ibig sabihin ay rehabilitation of Manila bay para ibalik ang dati niya kalidad..kaya yung mga obstruction, pollutants at iba pang mga nakakapagpalala sa sitwasyon ng manila bay yun po ang ibig sabihin

Mark Plazo may nasimulan napo bang rehabilitation para sa manila bay?

Rick Lopez Ang rehabilitasyon ho ba ng proyektong ito ay makakatulong sa paglilinis ng Manila Bay?

Derek Cabe - NFBM tanungin natin jan ang main implementor ang DENR

Moc |YBEAN yes sir jun simple anak kami ng mangingisda wala kami resources para sa technikal o para mag hire etc ... plss relay bakit nag denied ng BFAR ang application nila therefore may basis si BFAR na sya mismo may mandate para pangalagaan ang karagatan.

Angelita Pangilinan Question po regarding the ballast water management. Can you expound on this? How can we assure that invasive species will not be introduced in the area? Thank you

Derek Cabe - NFBM ang dami na pong questions dito if you may answer LONO from LGU was dated May 20, 2021 based on the annexes LGU Limay poor condition or wala talagang corals?

Alilo Ensomo There is an additional 5% royalty tax to be collected from the list of benefits presented.

Noel Lacadin Since project is Zero Discharge will you use dry toilet systems? Manila Bay has high e-coli content.we should look into e-coli management systems- Noel B. Lacadin, Manila Bay Rehab project-MGB3

Edgardo Gomez Malaki po ang magiging epekto nito sa mga mangingisda, dekada na po kaming nangingisda at base sa aming experience minsan lang na mabulabog ng mga illegal fishing ang lugar ng amingpangisdaan ay halos bibilang pa ng buwan bago mapabalik ang mga isda paano pa kaya kung 2 years na bubulabugin ang mga ito? Baka di na muling bumalik pa ang mga isda na mgiging dagdag pahirap pa sa aming mga mangingisda.

Derek Cabe - NFBM tama po kayo Sir Edgardo Gomez sino po ang nag composed ng review committee?

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

follow up po review com po ay public fisheries po nasa scoping na may tanong na Salamat po ...pahingi na lang po nag pagaara

yes Tama Kuya Alvin kulang sa tamang explaination,Yung mga mangingisda na nakikinig naguguluhan na din Hindi nagiging maayos Ang pagpapaliwanag na siya namang inaasahan ng bawat isang nakikiisa sa PUBLIC HEARING na ito.

NYZHAM MINONG Good Morning Sir/Maam. May I ask the proponent to send us (PCG-MSIF) an approved copy of the EIA/EIS and the minutes of the meeting. email: [email protected] Thank you and keep safe

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

5 meters nalang …..scrape ang seabed? ilang taon po para makabalik ang dating kalagayan or mas magandang pang environment para mas productive ang fishing ground?

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

What are the direct benefits to the LGU? The excise tax is only 2-4% from mining and quarry resources based on the TRAIN law, and that goes to the national treasury. For the IRA, that is still based on a standard computation under the LGC. So who will benefit the most here?

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI tama ka jan ate rory..nde maliit na bagay ang proyekto kya dpat may maayos at komprehensibong pliwanag at pag aaral pra maipakita na ktanggp tanggap ang proyekto pra sa mga mliliit na mangingisda..na unang una maapektuhan na wlang derektang benipisyo sa proyekto..

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

wala po bang waste fee ito?

Derek Cabe - NFBM paano mapupunta sa komunidad? ang daming coal plant, refinery sa Limay pero walang maliwanag na napunta sa komunidad. ung CSR ay may pabor sa kumpanya

Mark Plazo so ano po plano ng BFAR for the manila bay?

Moc |YBEAN ang BFAR po mas maaga na naglabas ng denial sa 7 sea bed mining application sa probinsya ng bataan.

Mark Plazo imean po regarding sa rehab ng manila bay

Derek Cabe - NFBM yung Manila Bay rehab po lahat ng agencies ay mandated to implement , nangunguna lang ang DENR pero maganda din malaman from BFAR how come u forgot to consult ang BFAR? yes that's true I agree Mam Sandra BFAR

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

ang dao-200-25 po ba ay kasama ang fisheries dito?

Derek Cabe - NFBM baka po may kasamang mining?

Moc |YBEAN stand agree madam BFAR .. sana lahat ng gov agency gampanan ang mandate nila.

Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo To Mark Plazo, sustainable fisheries in Mnl Bay po ang goal ng BFAR jn collaboration with the concerned LGUs kasi halos municipal waterspo Ng nasa Bay. Nag provide po ng Resource

Ecological Assessment thru Natl Fisheries Research & Devlpt Institute Count. BFAR provides tech assistance in tg

Mark Plazo so in coordination with the LGU din po pla maam, thank you for the clarification po

Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo The enactment o fisheries ordinance and CRM/EAFM PLANS including locally managed mpa and fish sanctuaries Passive management strategies para ma panu balik ang isda sa Bay. Pag nawala na ang isda dyan, plankton na kakainin ng mga tao

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

Hi Sandra.

Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo Hello Ka Pepe Anu ang affiation mo Mr. MARK PLAZO if I may ask

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

Can we require the EIS preparer to conduct a Benefit-Cost Analysis or resource accounting that takes into account the environmental, socio-economic, cultural and other non-use values vis-à-vis the 'economic' benefits of the project?

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

EAFM...isang component ay good governance...Salamat!

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI dpat po tlga may visual presentation..un ang una.. pangalawa accounting ng effects inderect at derect sa laht ng aspect..and last make it holistic because it is in critical area and critical project..

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

Sa DAO 200-25 na cited...nada ang fisheries ...

Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo EAFM = ecosystem health, human well being and good governance

Ariel Vibar meron po bang independent study regarding the impact of dredging in the municipality of limay and nearby towns?

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

I have a question po Sana ho is mabigyan ng pagkakataon thank you

Neil Kenneth Catibog agree with Atty Liza, for the proponent to conduct a resource accounting/BCA in the proposed area

Derek Cabe - NFBM OO nga..dapat may cost benefit analysis

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI tama po atty. liza nid po tlga yan..

Derek Cabe - NFBM bakit anong basis na hindi kasali ang BFAR? bakit po nag-apply kayo and BFAR denied it?

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI kc ngdenied nga kya nde na kasali..pero mlaki ang papel ng bfar dhil ung area is fishing ground at pngalawa may ruling ang supreme court ung mandamus pti sa fisca at FMAs..

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

Using the precautionary principle, the burden is on the proponent to prove that there will be no damage. I agree with BFAR-CO Rene Zaldy that the EIS' claim that there are no impacts to the environment. This claim is not acceptable. That is why the opinion and area clearance of BFAR is important as they have the expertise on marine and fisheries resource conservation.

Derek Cabe - NFBM I agree Atty Liza.. True i agree Mam Sandra

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

agree mam sandra

Joanis Jane Panuga may project na po ba ang BFAR na may ECC? kasi naguguluhan po ako bakit di sila magkasundo sa proseso ng EIA

Derek Cabe - NFBM: we expect that the DENR EMB should be neutral and the public interest is always the priority Invited po ba dito ang LGU Limay or ang Sangguniang Bayan?

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

ang emb ba ay neurtral? or facilitator? endorser? agent? ...nasaan ang role bilang tagapagtanggol ng public interest ng denr, mgb and emb..sama na ang lgu at province ng bataan?

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

Since the proponent's EIS has not satisfied the stakeholders, the document is not thorough and several aspects of the study require additional information, there should be another public hearing to present a more comprehensive EIS

Sandra Victoria R. Arcamo Ms Panuga, wala kaming project sa Mnl Bay na nag submit kaming ECC

Derek Cabe - NFBM I think the stakeholders already had their position Agree with Atty Liza. Revise EIS and subject to another round of public hearing

Neil Kenneth Catibog we would like to hear the EMB's response on the next step from this public hearing? will there be another public hearing or will they proceed with the review committee?

Emily Fajardo Yun na nga po eh, temporary, pero ang effect long term

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

Sana nga ho Ang mga sinasabi ninyo dito sa likod ng social media ay gawin ninyo

Derek Cabe - NFBM I think what our fishers need at the moment ay tulong sa kanilang kabuhayan, ang seabed quarry definitely would not help them in uplifting their quality of life

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

It's not temporary, the impacts are permanent

Derek Cabe - NFBM much more protecting and preserving the environment specially at this time of climate crisis

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

DENR SAVE OUR NATURE

Derek Cabe - NFBM stakeholders have expressed their position po

Manila Bay Para sa Tao Network-Pepe Tanchuling

for the record po...hindi satisfied ang Manila Bay para sa Tao Network sa paliwanag ng proponent..

Derek Cabe - NFBM Yes for the record din po, hindi kami satisfied

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

Hindi Rin ho satisfied Ang YOUNG BATAEÑOS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY NETWORK sa paliwanag ng proponent

Oceana | Atty. LIZA EISMA-OSORIO

For the record, we are not satisfied about the EIS of the proponent

Mark Plazo we support the project of cargon mining

Derek Cabe - NFBM Talaga Mark Plazo? Nalinawan ka ba?

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI PINSAMALA and LiCCI nkukulangan po tlga din kmi...sna mbigyan pansin ang laht ng aming concern..

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

mark,nakinig kaba?

Erick Lopez We support progress and development. We support the this Project of Cargon Mining Corp.

Derek Cabe - NFBM kaya pala ang gusto niya tanunging ang BFAR, hindi yung proponent ng quarry hahaha

Moc |YBEAN stand to oppose this project

Kevin Mondragon susuporta ako kung ano man ikauunlad ng Manila Bay at Bataan

Derek Cabe - NFBM walang tanong sa kumpanya hehehe

push na po

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI same discussion last scooing thiers is no improvement hope laht ng concern eh noted nila..

Derek Cabe - NFBM Erick Lopez qualify mo ang development at progress? Para kanino ba ang development kami rin ay pro development but we are against the destruction of our enviroment

Young Bataeños for Environmental Advocacy Network

Hmmmmm Sana masagot

Derek Cabe - NFBM thank you ng marami sa BAFR for standing up for the fisherfolks and the stakeholders

Alvin pura/PINSAMALA/LiCCI basta nlng tyo iniwan..marami pong salamat sa laht..we were not against the development we were against on destructive project..ung sumisira sa environment..

Table ES-5 below presents the summary of issues and concerns during the Public Scoping.

Table ES-5 Major Issues and Concerns during Public Scoping Activity

Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/

Suggestion Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder How it was Addressed in the EIS

Engr. Victor Ubaldo – LGU – PGENRO of Bataan

1. Based on the plotting your proposed area and it shows that it is within the Municipal Waters of Limay and Mariveles.

2. Why is this scoping limited to Limay Only, whereas the coverage at least a third is within the Mariveles Municipal Waters?

3. Baseline information of the Marine environment if possible and submit any adverse impact if they will be any, can be provided to the province

4. You have sent a letter to the Sanguniang Panlalawigan thru the presiding officer our Vice Governor Garcia requesting for a Letter of No Objection to you activities, please bear in mind that the fisheries code, best jurisdiction over municipal waters on municipal government, so if you need a SB Provincial Resolution, that should come from Municipal SB, Sanguniang Bayan of Limay and Mariveles, if you will pursue this 3,900 hectares , let me correct you that it is not 18km away from the shore, its only 15km from the edge of the municipal water ng Limay and Mariveles, kindly correct discrepancy

5. You should be able to show that the area is indeed silted that needs dredging, otherwise if it is the natural sand seabed that you be dredging, you will be disturbing the natural condition of the seabed.

1. Based on the QSCP permit, the proposed site is within the Municipal Waters of Limay. 2. As mentioned, final coordinates are within the Municipal waters of Limay, Chapter 1, Table 1-1, page 1-5. 3. Part of the EIS consist of baseline for Marine environment, reflected in Chapter 2, Section 2.2.5, page 2.2-53. 4. The company shall secure BFAR Letter of No Objection (LONO). The site is a about 13km (Point 3-4 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Poblacion and 11.0km (Point 1-2 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Lamao, Chapter 1, Figure 1-4, page 1-11. 5. The seabed elevation down to approximately 12.0 meters are very soft to soft clays with some amount of silts. Annex 2.1 A Geotechnical investigation Report

6. The proposed area is within a very busy navigational lane. Also, the site is fronting a proclaimed fishery reservation in Limay.

7. The proponent shall coordinate regularly with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) for every dredging and transporting works, Chapter 3 Impact Management Plan, page 3-3 (for dredging) and page 3-5 (for transporting)

Alvin Pura – Barangay Lamao

1. What about the Mandamus, effect of the population of the fish during operation

The proponent shall strictly implement the Impact Management Plan (IMP) presented in Chapter 3, Zero discharge of domestic waste to Manila Bay, 100% compliance with the following: RA 9003, DAO 1992-29 and DAO 2013-22, page 3-3 to 3-5

2. The Project will help in some way deepen Manila Bay. Area is sandy silty but still support fisheries productivity being a connection from the nearshore to the open water. Thus, these are still fishing area for municipal fisherfolks particularly with Limay. In its operation of 2 ½ years, I would recommend to compensate fisherfolks to the area being fished x days they cannot dish due to the operation. Total compensation should be divided among active fisherfolks as they alternately fish in the area. Also support to fish catch data monitoring of the Municipal Agriculture Office from these fisherfolks should be funded from data gathering to presentation (biannually starting at the operation and completion of the project)

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5.

3. The Project help some aspect but in anyway the effects should we or the proponent give emphasize specially the fisherfolks issue. Mitigation and the proper Management should go day to day basis for the effects have to be lessen.

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

Derek Cabe Nuclear Free Bataan Movement (NFBM)

1. What is the impact on the current clean-up of Manila Bay?

2. Comprehensive baseline study on the marine ecology on this project, and impact on the potential damage on marine ecosystem. Loss of species and fragmentation.

3. Effect on the disturbance of seafloor or seabed and what is the area of the quarry.

1. There will be no impact to the current clean of the Manila Bay, for as along as the proponent will strictly implement the EMP as presented in Chapter 3, Zero discharge of domestic waste to Manila Bay, 100% compliance with the following: RA 9003, DAO 1992-29 and DAO 2013-22, page 3-3 to 3-5 2. Part of the EIS consist of baseline for Marine environment, reflected in Chapter 2, Section 2.2.5, page 2.2-53. 3. The total area of the GSQP is 3,974.3028 Hectares, Chapter 1, page 1-1 ans Annex ES-C for the GSQP Permit. Post scenario of the bathymetry or seabed profile is presented in Figure 1-11, page 1-41.

4. Are we allowed to do fishing during operation? 5. Coherence with SC Mandamus 6. Comprehensive Baseline data/ studies 7. Disturbance to Marine Ecosystem/ Marine Life 8. Loss of species and fragmentation of or loss of

ecosystem structure and function 9. Rehabilitation Plan/ Abandonment Phase

4. Yes you will still be allowed to do fishing but with observance to the radius of the vessel as silt curtain will be installed for safety and protection, Chapter 1, page 1-31 and Figure 1-9, page 1-34 Items 5-9 reflected in Chapter 3, IMP

CARGON MINING CORPORATION

Sector or Representative Who Raised the Issue/

Suggestion Issues/Suggestions Raised by Stakeholder How it was Addressed in the EIS

BFAR – Sandra V. R. Arcamo

1. It is not just simply siphoning the sand and silt. It’s simply because manila bay is a fishing ground, if you are going to disturb the bottom, how are you going to affect the fisheries in the bay

2. You are already encroaching the commercial area which is very small, the population of the commercial fishers in Manila Bay is also using that small commercial area

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

3. Hope there is a screening from EMB because this is under Mandamus.

4. If you look at the Mandamus ruling there is a big task on fisheries. It does not add up to the restoring the Manila Bay.

Others issues not related to the proposed project

Engr. Vivencio Frianeza – Provincial

1. Kindly clarify the 18km from the shore, how near or far on the seashore of Limay especially point 1 and 2, actually since that is the nearest seashore

2. Can you include in your mitigating measures consider artificial coral reef to compensate the coral reef that will be left?

3. Kindly provide all related studies

1. The site is a about 13km (Point 3-4 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Poblacion and 11.0km (Point 1-2 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Lamao, Chapter 1, Figure 1-4, page 1-11

MOC 1. How many radius not allowed to fish?

Yes, you will still be allowed to do fishing but with observance to the radius of the vessel as silt curtain will be installed for safety and protection, Chapter 1, page 1-31 and Figure 1-9, page 1-34

ENS Betenio PCG

1. Do you have a contingency oil spill plan in case of accidental oil spill? For the different waste to be generated aboard ship, do you have an accredited waste collectors to collect the wastes. If there are, kindly provide the PCG a copy of the accredited waste collectors that you are going to tap and a copy of the oil spill contingency plan. I’d like to suggest that these will be included also as one of the attachments for the eia.

Contingency Plan is attached in Annex 2.2-D – Manila Bay Oil Spill Contingency Plan and Annex 2.2-E – Oil Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Barangay Lamao – Rosario Perez Kagawad

1. Fisherfolks, livelihood not only in Limay but in Bulacan, Cavite and Pampanga considering that Manila Bay is a Fishing basket of Central Luzon and here in Lamao, we are making project for breeding areas of fishes/nesting fishes

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

2. We have about 124,000 families/fisherfolks around the Manila Bay

3. Millions are dependent for food, can Cargon Mining Corporation provide food to the affected fisherfolks

4. Can we request copy of the document to EMB and how we can submit opposition for this project

1. The proposed seabed quarry project is not altering nor converting into other use, this is extraction of sands on the seabed and considered temporary in nature. 2-4.

Engr. Victor Ubaldo – LGU – PGENRO of Bataan

1. Based on the plotting your proposed area and it shows that it is within the Municipal Waters of Limay and Mariveles.

2. Why is this scoping limited to Limay Only, whereas the coverage at least a third is within the Mariveles Municipal Waters?

3. Baseline information of the Marine environment if possible and submit any adverse impact if they will be any, can be provided to the province

4. You have sent a letter to the Sanguniang Panlalawigan thru the presiding officer our Vice Governor Garcia requesting for a Letter of No Objection to you activities, please bear in mind that the fisheries code, best jurisdiction over municipal waters on municipal government, so if you need a SB Provincial Resolution, that should come from Municipal SB, Sanguniang Bayan of Limay and Mariveles, if you will pursue this 3,900 hectares , let me correct you that it is not 18km away from the shore, its only 15km from the edge of the municipal water ng Limay and Mariveles, kindly correct discrepancy

5. You should be able to show that the area is indeed silted that needs dredging, otherwise if it is the natural sand seabed that you be dredging, you will be disturbing the natural condition of the seabed.

1. Based on the QSCP permit, the proposed site is within the Municipal Waters of Limay. 2. As mentioned, final coordinates are within the Municipal waters of Limay, Chapter 1, Table 1-1, page 1-5. 3. Part of the EIS consist of baseline for Marine environment, reflected in Chapter 2, Section 2.2.5, page 2.2-53. 4. The company shall secure BFAR Letter of No Objection (LONO). The site is a about 13km (Point 3-4 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Poblacion and 11.0km (Point 1-2 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Lamao, Chapter 1, Figure 1-4, page 1-11. 5. The seabed elevation down to approximately 12.0 meters are very soft to soft clays with some amount of silts.

Alvin Pura – Barangay Lamao

1. What about the Mandamus, effect of the population of the fish during operation

The proponent shall strictly implement the Impact Management Plan (IMP) presented in Chapter 3, Zero discharge of domestic waste to Manila Bay, 100% compliance with the following: RA 9003, DAO 1992-29 and DAO 2013-22, page 3-3 to 3-5

2. The Project will help in some way deepen Manila Bay. Area is sandy silty but still support fisheries productivity being a connection from the nearshore to the open water. Thus, these are still fishing area for municipal fisherfolks particularly with Limay. In its operation of 2 ½ years, I would recommend to compensate fisherfolks to the area being fished x days they cannot dish due to the operation. Total compensation should be divided among active fisherfolks as they alternately fish in the area. Also support to fish catch data monitoring of the Municipal Agriculture Office from these fisherfolks should be funded from data gathering to presentation (biannually starting at the operation and completion of the project)

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5.

3. The Project help some aspect but in anyway the effects should we or the proponent give emphasize specially the fisherfolks issue. Mitigation and the proper Management should go day to day basis for the effects have to be lessen.

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

8. Loss of species and fragmentation of or loss of ecosystem structure and function

9. Rehabilitation Plan/ Abandonment Phase

Items 5-9 reflected in Chapter 3, IMP

BFAR – Sandra V. R. Arcamo

1. It is not just simply siphoning the sand and silt. It’s simply because manila bay is a fishing ground, if you are going to disturb the bottom, how are you going to affect the fisheries in the bay

2. You are already encroaching the commercial area which is very small, the population of the commercial fishers in Manila Bay is also using that small commercial area

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

3. Hope there is a screening from EMB because this is under Mandamus.

4. If you look at the Mandamus ruling there is a big task on fisheries. It does not add up to the restoring the Manila Bay.

Others issues not related to the proposed project

Engr. Vivencio Frianeza – Provincial

1. Kindly clarify the 18km from the shore, how near or far on the seashore of Limay especially point 1 and 2, actually since that is the nearest seashore

2. Can you include in your mitigating measures consider artificial coral reef to compensate the coral reef that will be left?

3. Kindly provide all related studies

1. The site is a about 13km (Point 3-4 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Poblacion and 11.0km (Point 1-2 of the coordinates) shoreline of Barangay Lamao, Chapter 1, Figure 1-4, page 1-11

MOC 1. How many radius not allowed to fish?

Yes, you will still be allowed to do fishing but with observance to the radius of the vessel as silt curtain will be installed for safety and protection, Chapter 1, page 1-31 and Figure 1-9, page 1-34

ENS Betenio PCG

1. Do you have a contingency oil spill plan in case of accidental oil spill? For the different waste to be generated aboard ship, do you have an accredited waste collectors to collect the wastes. If there are, kindly provide the PCG a copy of the accredited waste collectors that you are going to tap and a copy of the oil spill contingency plan. I’d like to suggest that these will be included also as one of the attachments for the eia.

Contingency Plan is attached in Annex 2.2-D – Manila Bay Oil Spill Contingency Plan and Annex 2.2-E – Oil Spill Prevention and Response Plan.

Barangay Lamao – Rosario Perez Kagawad

1. Fisherfolks, livelihood not only in Limay but in Bulacan, Cavite and Pampanga considering that Manila Bay is a Fishing basket of Central Luzon and here in Lamao, we are making project for breeding areas of fishes/nesting fishes

This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

Kapitan Leila Cruz – Barangay Lamao

1. If dredging is by suction, not only garbage but also the nesting fishes at the same time those fishes that will be caught, kindly study because this affect the fisherfolks

Creation a Multi-Sectoral Monitoring Team (MSMF) Monitoring to monitor the impact of the project to the current fishing activity, Chapter 6, page 6-4 and Draft MOA is presented in Annex 6.1

Edlyn Rosales – Pangisda Bataan (NGO)

1. SC Mandamus, let us not sideway the RA 10654 which states that we need to sustain the status of the sea/ocean and prohibited sea/ocean to convert into other use

2. We have about 124,000 families/fisherfolks around the Manila Bay

3. Millions are dependent for food, can Cargon Mining Corporation provide food to the affected fisherfolks

4. Can we request copy of the document to EMB and how we can submit opposition for this project

1. The proposed seabed quarry project is not altering nor converting into other use, this is extraction of sands on the seabed and considered temporary in nature. 2-4. This is part of the Social Development Plan (SDP) subject to final discussion with the affected fisherfolks, Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, page 3-3 for mitigation.

Fish Visual Census (Fish Density, Fish

Abundance and Fish Biomass)

Fish Visual Census (FVC) is one of the

most widely used quantitative and

qualitative sampling

This method is rapid, non- destructive,

inexpensive and utilizes a minimum of

personnel and specialized equipment

On the basis of the survey conducted, it

can be concluded that demersal fishery of

the concerned areas in Bataan is already

in a poor and degraded condition. The

low turnout of reef fish biomass,

especially the target species means that

fishers need to go farther to the sea and

rely greatly on pelagic species in order to

catch fish
