Municipal Resolution No. 068 -2014
WHEREAS, considering that the intended quarrying and blasting is to be conducted within
the territorial jurisdiction of this municipality, thus, the party affected, due courtesy requires that at
the very least discussion and coordination with the municipal government should have been
conducted at the outset regarding the extent, necessity and manner of the entry and occupation;
WHEREAS, although it could be argued that these effects/impacts are rather mere
possibilities and may be even minimized, the fact still remains that these effects/impacts can never
be avoided once quarrying and blasting have been conducted. It is therefore important to note that
preventive measures are more reliable than remedial ones;
WHEREAS, this august body believes that the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, in the
performance of its duties and functions as steward of the countrys mineral resources, should do so
in consideration of the various environmental and detrimental, on-site and even off-site effects;
WHEREAS, it is worthy to mention that the Provincial Government of Albay has been aptly
promoting its mission to provide good environment for its constituents, among others; and to
become a model for green development. It is thus timely for this mission to be seen implemented
and enforced in this particular instance;
WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing premises, be it now:
RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved by the Sangguniang Bayan of Guinobatan, Albay in
session assembled, to express as it hereby expresses strong opposition against the intended
quarrying and blasting in the Municipality of Guinobatan especially in Mt. Quiborgo , by the
Goodfound Cement Corporation and the Ibalong Resources and Development Corporation, as
permitted by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that a copy of this resolution be furnished such concerned
offices/agencies, for their information and appropriate action.
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, on motion of the Sponsoring Committee Chairman,
Honorable Councilor Juris L. Villareal and duly seconded by the members present this 26 th day of
May, 2014 during their 18th Regular Session.
WE HEREBY certify to the correctness of the foregoing resolution.
