I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. REGIONAL DIRECTOR’S REPORT

The Office attained an overall Annual Accomplishment of 160%. This, despite the number of resignations of our personnel to seek greener pastures and the demise of key personnel. Activities which were mainly due to the nature of these being clientele-dependent were a major factor in the attainment of the annual accomplishment. MGB-10 presented its issues and concerns and update of accomplishment at the DENR-10 Reprogramming Workshop in May and in the Mid-Year Assessment in July. The 2008 budget proposal as well as the proposed capital outlay was presented at the NEDA-10 on May 30. As an active member of the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council-10, MGB-10, the focal point of DENR-10 to the RDCC, hosted the regular monthly meeting of the RDCC Technical Management Group on April 27. MGB-10 was at the forefront of DENR-10 activities during the observance of Women’s Month in March and Environment Month in June. Our personnel attended seminars and trainings to enhance their capabilities in their respective fields of endeavor. Our technical personnel attended the National DENR-EMB Inter-Comparison Exercise for Laboratory Analysts held at the DENR-EMB-10 Laboratory in Cagayan de Oro City on October 15-24. Our supervisors attended the Supervisory Development Course Tracks II and III conducted by the MGB-Central Office in Mandaluyong City on December 3-6.

Treasure-hunting activity at Jasaan, Misamis Oriental 11. Treasure hunting activity at Claveria, Misamis Oriental Accomplishment for this activity is dependent on complaints received. As early as June, the Division already accomplished its target for the entire year. Eleven (11) complaints were verified/investigated in response to letter-complaints on illegal mining/treasure hunting activities within the region. On January 10, this Office received through the Presidential Action Center, a complaint on the alleged gold tunnel at Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. Verification revealed that there was an activity at the reported area. However, there was no evidence found to confirm the existence of gold treasure except for talks of gold hidden underground. They were advised to secure a Treasure-Hunting Permit should they resume their activity. Another complaint investigated/verified by this Office was the reported treasure-hunting activity at the Municipality of Quezon, Bukidnon. The technical personnel who conducted the investigation found diggings beside the house. The owner was instructed to stop the operation and secure a Treasure-Hunting Permit from the MGB-10 before resuming activity. The third letter-complaint came from Cypress Mining and Development Corporation on the alleged illegal mining activities within their applied area for Exploration Permit. Investigation conducted showed that there were such activities but with Special Permits issued by the local government. The Special Permits were issued by the City Mayor of Cagayan de Oro for a period of six months. This Office received a letter-complaint from a certain Mr. Joel Penas on the alleged illegal mining activity of CDO International Metal Corporation at San Isidro, Manticao, Misams Oriental. The technical team found out that the area is within an application for small-scale mining permit still under process. There was no evidence of an alleged stockpile of chromite ore produced from the illegal activity of CDO International Metal Corporation. There was no actual excavation/extraction found except for an access road. The team recommended and advised the SSMP applicant to get consent from the EXPA area holder (CDO International Metal Corporation) as a requirement for the processing of the application. In the meantime, they were advised to refrain from mining activity until a permit is approved/granted. A letter-complaint was also received from the Kisanlu Homeowners Association of Iponan, Cagayan de Oro City on the alleged treasure-hunting activity outside the perimeter fence of the subdivision. The complaint was triggered by the homeowners’ fear that the cracks on the concrete road were the result of the illegal treasure-hunting

activity located at about fifty meters from the road. Upon investigation/verification, the team found an excavation outside the perimeter fence of the subdivision. Those involved have stopped their operation. Further investigation showed that there was no possibility of a horizontal opening. No timbers were even observed being brought to the area. The team instructed those concerned that a Treasure-Hunting Permit should be secured prior to resumption of activity.

This Office also responded to a letter-complaint from the OIC-ENRO of Misamis Oriental regarding the illegal activity of First Mineral Mining Ventures in Manticao and Opol, Misamis Oriental by sending its technical personnel to investigate allegations. During verification/investigation, there was nobody found in the area and no equipment was in sight. It was recommended that the alleged persons involved be called for a conference in the Office of the ENRO-Misamis Oriental for a conference to shed light on the alleged illegal activity. Another complaint received and acted was the alleged illegal mining activities within the Exploration Permit Application of CPO Mineral Resources Development Corporation located in the Municipality of Impasug-ong, Province of Bukidnon.

The technical personnel from MGB-10 and BENRO Samuel Cadavos conducted ocular inspection and found that out that there were two sites operated through small-scale mining operations. The first area was allegedly covered by a small-scale mining permit, however, no activity in the subject area was observed during the inspection. Furthermore, it was found out that the area of operation is outside the Small-Scale Mining permit area hence they were advised to amend their applied area. It is also outside the CPO EPA application. The second site was in the northern boundary of the CPO applied area. There was no operation during the inspection. They were also advised to refrain from any operation until a permit is granted. The Governor of Bukidnon gave instructions to stop illegal operations. A Cease-and-Desist Order was recommended by the team to be issued by the Governor to the persons involved.

A complaint from CDO International Metal Corporation on nickel laterite illegal activity within their applied area for Exploration Permit located in Manticao, Misamis Oriental, prompted this Office to send its technical personnel to investigate the reported illegal activity. Investigation revealed that clearing and drilling was indeed conducted in the area and the persons involved were stopped and their equipment removed from the area.

Investigation was also conducted within the mining claim of Mr. Alfredo Roxas on the basis of complaint received by this Office on the operation of First Mineral Mining Ventures using heavy equipment, particularly a backhoe. Result showed that the actual area operated during investigation/verification was in Aileen area situated within the mining claims of Global Hennessey. The persons involved were advised to remove their equipment from the area and to refrain from illegal activity.
