my name is an industry that provides a
promising outcome to those who partake
and invest in it but is it totally safe
at once [Music]

the philippines is a country that is
abundant in natural resources from the
lush marine life to the rich soil where
our crops are grown where gold copper
silver and other mineral resources are
found this abundant natural resources
could be one of our catalysts to help
our nation grow or it could be our
nightmare if handled responsibly
the mining industry involves the
extraction of valuable minerals and
other materials from the earth that
serves as an economic benefit to the nation
nation
the industry plays a great pro in
developing a country
is important to technological progress
and provides great employment opportunities
opportunities
however the numerous debates concerning
the actions of the industry have drawn
flag with regards to child labor land
environmental degradation and less
corporate accountability regarding the
provision of proper mining equipment
furthermore the amount of money the
industry deposited to the country is
significant that their operations
benefit that the corporation itself and
the politicians who sought to protect
them in this case we can infer that the
money the industry produces is to use in
unscrupulous ways that fuels corruption
and in turn perpetrates irresponsible mining
a study by human rights watch states
that out of hundred thousand to three
hundred thousand miners who are
continuously risking their lives
eighteen thousand of them are minors
systematic poverty allows for children
to forget education and instead focus
more on working thus inducing the cycle
of child labor
a lot of these children venture into the
minds haphazardly without decent and
proper mining equipment all to help
in the philippines the results of
irresponsible mining are evident
such is the case of the naboo river in
compostela valley whose waters were once
clear as crystal
now turned into a murky swamp due to
such abusive practices in mining
and it is not just the environment that
is mainly affected by irresponsible
mining but the workers as well
they are at a greater risk of catching
diseases due to inhalation of dust particles
particles
small-scale mining miners raise their
lives diving into dangerous mines
without proper protecting equipment they
stay underwater for many hours with the
possibility of rocks collapsing into
them or drowning themselves while working
working
all these risky activities results in death
time is ticking there's not much time
left with the knowledge that we have we
can use it as a powerful weapon to share
educate and make great changes to our
life as a student taking up the
metallurgical engineering course
the material science and technology
serves one purpose having the capacity
to contribute to nation building
as an inspiring methodological engineer
i entail a greater responsibility in
ensuring that we are aware of the
history and loss pertaining to
responsible mining it is integral for us
to know that education allows for a more
comprehensive approach to the
challenging issues in the mining
industry technological engineering is
not limited only to plants and factories
it is intersectional we can depart the
various executive departments in the
philippines notably the department of
environment and natural resources as
students the advocacy that we're making
right now is a notable step to urge
these departments to regularly
investigate various mining companies if
they still follow international and
domestic regulations
in that way irresponsible mining cannot foster
foster
as aspiring methodological engineers we
are continuously researching and
developing processes that can be an
alternative for safer and more effective
processes in the mining industry
especially for small-scale miners
we may be just students but our capacity
to note what is being perpetrated by
individuals who practice a responsible
mining is morally repugnant
advocacy we want to forward is an
incremental steps towards environmental
preservation protection and social responsibility
responsibility
our college courses age and gender will
not matter because when nature strikes
back we will all be affected
therefore it must be an unwritten rule
the best way to combat the effects of
irresponsible mining is to be aware that
there are entities utilizing and causing
it and be an individual who has the
