Environmental Degradation
Mankayan Benguet – The residents of Poblacion, Mankayan Benguet is now facing continuous erosion, and sinking due to the long term effects of the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company.

I can’t explain my hard feelings on the ongoing and non stop destruction happening in my hometown, Mankayan Benguet.

It’s been three years since I left my school Mankayan National High School (MNHS). Based on the news, the sidewalk, the administration building and the canteen were destroyed already. It’s hard to think that I can’t do anything and I’m just here studying. All I have to do is to pray so that the destruction will not get worse. This situation also tests the unity of the community. They should also strengthen their solidarity to give justice on the past destructions, lost land and houses.
