Excerpt
Two mining corporations in Cebu province will no longer be allowed to extract dolomite, the mineral that was used to fill a stretch of the Manila Bay baywalk. Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on Tuesday issued Executive Order (EO) No. 25, ordering the Dolomite Mining Corporation (DMC) and Philippine Mining Service Corporation (PMSC) “to immediately cease and desist from further extracting, processing, selling and transporting of dolomite, associated mineral deposits and other quarry resources.” Dolomite Mining, located in Alcoy town, Cebu, has been selling extracted dolomite to PSMC.
