SOUND IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES<br />

<strong>Management</strong>’s Comments<br />

record was attended by personnel<br />

from the Mayor’s Office of the<br />

Municipality of Bagabag in the<br />

persons of Mr. Colcol and Mr. Nivial,<br />

SB Kagawad Revelita L. Jallorina and<br />

the Barangay Council of Baretbet,<br />

Bagabag headed by its Barangay<br />

Captain, Honorable Julie Santiago.<br />

The LGU representatives from<br />

Municipality of Quezon were not able<br />

to attend, however, CENRO<br />

Bayombong and members of the P.O.<br />

conducted constant coordination with<br />

them regarding the CBFM Project.<br />

Although our CENRO Office failed to<br />

furnish the Provincial Government a<br />

copy of the CBFMA awarded to the<br />

DMADAI the Office had a regular<br />

coordination with the ENRO which is<br />

under the Office of the Provincial<br />

Governor. Please take note also that<br />

the CBFMA had been notarized by<br />

Atty. Jose V. Gambito now the Vice-<br />

Governor of the Province.<br />

The mining issue started when this<br />

Office received a resolution from the<br />

P.O. embodying a petition for the<br />

discontinuance of the mining<br />

operation of the KMAI within their<br />

CBFMA area at Sitio Burburnay,<br />

Bonifacio, Quezon, Nueva Vizcaya….<br />

The Office issued Memo in the<br />

conduct of investigation and found out<br />

that the Provincial Government issued<br />

to Kablaaw Manganese Association,<br />

Inc. (KMAI), an organization with no<br />

records in the Office, a special permit<br />

to haul/dispose manganese ore at<br />

Burburnay, Bonifacio, Quezon, Nueva<br />

Vizcaya and valid from December 9,<br />

2004 to February 6, 2005…. Result of<br />

Investigation .<br />

Team’s Rejoinder<br />

representatives were alledgedly<br />

present during CBFM Agreement<br />

awarding ceremony. Besides, mere<br />

presence in the ceremony would not<br />

provide adequate information on the<br />

privileges and responsibilites of both<br />

parties including the scope and<br />

coverage of the Agreement.<br />

The extent of alleged coordination<br />

between CENRO and ENRO was not<br />

disclosed in the comments. Moreover,<br />

the issuance of the mining permit by<br />

the Provincial Government to a PO<br />

other than the CBFMA holder is a<br />

manifestation of inadequate, if not<br />

total absence of coordination.<br />

It would appear then that the issuance<br />

of CBFMA is not an assurance that<br />

the POs would have the sole right over<br />

the area. This only manifests that<br />

CBFMA could not be enforced<br />

without the support and coordination<br />

of the concerned LGUs.<br />
