In a letter dated January 20, 2022, Governor Nelson L. Dayanghirang prompted Secretary Roy A. Cimatu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to cancel the permits of Riverbend Consolidated Mining Corp./ Arc Nickel Resources, Inc. (RCMC/ANRI).

The petition is based on the assessment of the province's technical team, noting that the said company's siltation ponds were "not wide and deep enough causing the discolored water discharges to overflow while some portion of discharges were not directed to the catchment ponds."

Let us continue supporting this online petition to further escalate the move of the provincial government.
