    Mining has both benefits and drawbacks for the environment and economy. It provides resources and income but can also cause pollution and deplete natural resources if not properly managed. While mining benefits communities through jobs and revenue, it risks environmental damage like landslides and water pollution. There is an ongoing debate around balancing these factors and designating mining-free zones to protect certain areas. Overall, the position paper discusses the complex tradeoffs around mining and argues it should be stopped to minimize environmental destruction and preserve resources for future generations.

    A. INTRODUCTION
    A destruction of environment due to mining. It has various advantages and disadvantages that affects
    the environment and the lives of every human being in the Philippines. Mining is the process of digging
    mines to obtain minerals, metals, and jewels that serves as the livelihood to every human being. It gives
    people some of the resources needed for modern civilization, but it can lead to environmental harm.
    Some are opposite and based on opposition to destructive mining practices and others dislike mining
    in general. Humans need a wide range of natural resources to create the products modern civilization
    needs. While alternative forms of energy are becoming more worthwhile, most of the areas need coal,
    natural gas, and uranium to provide energy. Similarly, oil is necessary for powering vehicles and the
    transportation industry. Mining allows people to use these resources.
    B. BODY
    Mining is one of the resources that mostly common Filipinos choose as their source of living. A mine
    is a pit of tunnel wherein a miner used to dig in getting minerals such as coal, gold, and diamonds are
    taken. According to Josephine C. Maguad, Senior Environmental Management Specialist of EMB-
    Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) mining is an employment for economic
    growth in a certain country, it increase also the revenue for the miners as well as for the government
    fund, it is a source of livelihood for the people around a certain area, the social development for the
    community and other stakeholders and in the larger community. She also mentioned that it could also
    transform into other uses, used for natural resources, can alter and for enhancement for the area, it is
    also for the rehabilitation to bring back healthy condition of the soil after they used it.
    The people around the community need also to plant more trees for renewable resources and for the
    carbon dioxide. So at the end of every mining, there will be the possibility of gaining more nutrients
    from the soil.There are a lot of advantages of mining that could give to the lives of every person. . It is
    a little bit unfamiliar to those people who are new about this matter. But, it helps a lot to the economic
    growth of the Philippines as to the other stakeholders all over the country. It is indeed a stepping stone
    to faster earnings. It is a development for the community certainly the rapid out-growth of resources.
    She also discussed about the negativity of mining such as it decreases the natural resource that is
    supplied by nature, if it is irresponsible and have mismanagement in mining, there is also a possibility
    of pollution in land, air, and water. It is bound in the Republic Act (RA) 7942 law or the Philippine
    Mining act that speaks about the environmental act in land, air, and water if a single person is
    irresponsible and not maintaining the growth of natural resources. Mining is definitely having a lot of
    disadvantages that could trigger the crisis that is very rampant in the country. Just like every time there
    is landslides and floods that softens the soil in the mountainous part. The miners themselves need to
    take risks so that they could raise their own families and help them out to survive. Just like if there is
    an earthquake, the lives of the miners will be in danger because there is the possibility that the place
    will be destroyed and broken down that could lead to death. It is a matter of taking risks and a matter
    of choice for them because in some areas it is the easiest way to uplift their own lives as well as for
    their family. According to a research of rappler.com, representatives from the mining sector
    expressed their reservations about the plan to declare eight provinces as mining-free zones during a
    Senate hearing.
    These areas are: Cagayan de Oro City, Catanduanes, Nueva Vizcaya, Eastern Samar, Nueva Ecija,
    Biliran, Davao City, and Second District of Sorsogon. Chamber of mines of the Philippines vice
    president for policy Ronald Recidoro said that banning mining from those areas will “set a bad
    precedent” for the Philippine government and also added that mineral resources are limited, finite
    and do not occur everywhere. They are concentrated in only a few blessed provinces. This
    deprives the national government of the chance to develop a national industrialization plan.
    Around 65% of the Philippines cannot be mined under current laws and executive orders despite
    the vast potential of the country as a source of minerals. Meanwhile, mining is destructive to the
    environment but Representative Carlos Padilla of the lone district of Nueva Vizcaya is prioritizing
    the agriculture over the mining.
    C. CONCLUSION
    There are various advantages and disadvantages of mining in the Philippines that has different
    functions and uses which can profit the community in the society. In conclusion, mining should be
    stop so that the destruction of the environment will be minimize and the lives of the next
    generation will be save, more enjoyable and preserve.
