• The 1987 Philippines Constitution explicitly recognizes the existences of small scale miners and their entitlement to the utilization of natural resources. Thus, the third paragraph of sec. 2 of Article XII of the 1987 constitution provides that “Congress may, by law, allow small scale utilization of natural resources by Filipino citizens…” Thus, on June 27, 1991, Congress enacted R.A 7076, otherwise known as the “People’s Small-scale Mining Act of 1991”.

FORBIDDEN. TVI Resources Development (Phils), Inc., an affiliate of the publicly listed Canadian mining firm, TVI Pacific, has been barring entry not only of "illegal chemicals" and "illegal explosives" into the minesite at Sitio Balabag, Barangay Depore, in Bayog, Zamboanga del Sur, but since April 5, also diesel fuel and other mining-related materials, claiming it has the right to do so as holder of a mining permit from government. Small-scale miners, however, maintain they have prior rights. MindaNews photo by Froilan Gallardo.

Small scale miners documents say that, “the tranquility of the Mt. Balabag area that had been the refuge and lifeblood of the indigenous people since time immemorial, and which they shared and jointly exploited the natures bounty for the past two decades with the small scale gold miners composed mostly of the marginalized people coming from several provinces in Zamboanga peninsula, had been abruptly disrupted upon the entry of TVI, notorious for its recent conquest of the hapless IPs and small scale miners in their economically productive but blood-drenched Canatuan, Siocon, ZN copper-gold mine, canatuan tvi mine.jpg aided by ex-military men.”TVI MANAGEMENT_SECURITY.docx
