Lobo is a third class municipality in the Province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 37,070 people.[3]

Lobo is about 145 kilometres (90 mi) from Manila located near the southern tip of Batangasprovince. Lobo offers many attractions. It has good white sand beaches whose ocean floor slopes gradually for nearly 200 meters before a drop-off. It has very good coral and marine life on some of its beaches that attract many snorkelers, scuba divers and underwater photographers. It also has protected mangrove forests and fish sanctuaries.

The Philippine government granted MRL two Minerals Production Sharing Agreements (MPSAs) in 2002, spanning the towns of Rosario, Taysan, San Juan, Lobo, and Batangas City. It is not the only mining firm to enter into Batangas; the government has also granted large-scale mining permits to other firms such as Egerton Gold Philippines, Inc. (EGPI) and Asturias Chemicals Inc. under San Miguel Corporations, paving the way for more conversion of fertile agricultural lands into mining areas.

If this will push through, the beautiful natural beauty of Lobo, Batangas will become a waste and that will include destroying the serene beach resorts in Brgy. Malabrigo. We are hoping for your support to protect one of the nearest tourist destination in Metro Manila. #NoToMiningInLobo
