NO TO MINING IN DUPAX DEL NORTE!๐ซโ๏ธ
Our land is not for destruction, but for protection and preservation. The people of Dupax del Norte stand firm in defending their environment, their culture, and their future. Mining may promise progress, but it often leaves behind a trail of damaged forests, polluted waters, and displaced communities.
As stewards of Godโs creation, we are called to safeguard the gift of nature entrusted to us. True progress uplifts both people and the planet โ not one at the expense of the other.
Let us stand together with our brothers and sisters who continue to fight for justice, sustainability, and life. Because our home is worth more than gold, and our future is far richer than any mineral beneath the soil.
โHindi kami tutol sa pag-unlad, ngunit hindi namin ipagpapalit ang aming kabuhayan at kalikasan.โ โ Most Rev. Jose Elmer I. Mangalinao, D.D., Obispo ng Bayombong
