Gold: Our ‘Conflict Diamonds’Friday, February 29, 2008 09:01:40 AM
 | | As a Balikbayan, sometimes you’re confronted by a situation that makes you embarrassed to have a Canadian passport. This last Christmas season was pretty crushing for both the Filipino and Canadian in me.
I mean what do you say to a Filipino community where the air, food, and water are poisoned? Where almost everyone has heavy metal poisoning? Where many are suffering horrible symptoms, children are being born with physical and metal illness, and some are even loosing limbs to it,–what do you say when the reason for all this ties back to Canada?
I spent this past Christmas season on the island of Marinduque, the site of one of the world’s greatest mining disasters and in Zamboanga del Norte, where another Canadian company is accused of major human rights offences.
In the movie “Blood Diamond,” you see how the world’s love affair with diamonds resulted in conflict, displacement, and a lot of lost limbs and lives. “Conflict diamonds” are a massive cause celeb these days with Kanye West hogging airtime to rant political. For us Filipino’s our “conflict diamonds” is a much more common product, gold. Like diamonds, gold mining is responsible for the same sort of conflict, militarization, displacement, and loss of limbs and lives.
For us Fil-Cans this gold issue hits even closer to home.
The Philippines is ranked second to South Africa in production (per unit of land area). Gold is found throughout the islands and mining is one of the centre pieces of the government’s economic strategy. Canada is one of the world’s top mining countries, and the Toronto Stock Exchange (with 60% of the world’s mining listings) is one of the world’s three top financial centres for mining (with Melbourne and London).
Large-scale mining is recognised as one of the most problematic ventures in the world. Where ever there is a large scale mine there are community accusations of human rights abuse, and livelihood and environmental destruction.
Marinduque was depressing. There were three major toxic spills on this island: 1) Calancan Bay where 200 million metric tones of mine tailings were purposefully dumped into the ocean at surface level. This dumping continued 24 hours a day from 1975 to 1991; 2) the Boac River where a dam breach spilled 3-4 metric tones of tailings in 1996; 3) the Mogpog river had a similar spill in 1991.
This mine closed down in 1996, but the health and environmental problems linger. Heavy metal poisoning is rampant throughout the island, and none of the sites have been fully rehabilitated. Sometimes when the wind picks up the toxic mine waste is blown about, the locals call this their “snow from Canada.”
While there for Christmas I thought about the toy recall incident from last year when toys made in Asia were chastised for their lead content and possible health risks. In the Philippines the health risk from heavy metals is not a possibility but a fact, and it’s source is the West, often from Canada.
And Marinduque is not an isolated incident. Even without ‘accidents’ mining causes huge problems for the local communities. And the supposed economic benefits are difficult to see. Few jobs are created around large scale mining, and many are lost. Worse still, the money made from this mining doesn’t even stay in the Philippines as the government grants companies long tax holidays, and allows for 100% foreign ownership and 100% repatriation of capital and profits.

Do our Cebuano/Visayan musicians, composers, singers and music lovers aware of the pitiful situation that in the internet there’s no active website for all kinds of Cebuano/Visayan songs and lyrics of the past and present?
But the Tagalog people of similar fascination and inclination in music and songs have their various websites accessible in the internet for all kinds of Tagalog songs. The Americans, British, Australians and other white men who are equally great musicians and singers and composers have theirs in plentiful in the internet. You can ask for the songs or the lyrics of your favorite singers or bands by typing inside the box being provided for your search. Mostly, you can get what lyrics or songs you want.
Personality backgrounds of your favorite singers or bands are also made available by typing their specific names prior to clicking the search menu.

Where Are those World Olympic Swimmers? By Prof. Muktar H. AlanThursday, February 07, 2008 11:17:41 AM
Do you know what Amman Jalmaani, Tony Asamli, and Hussin Hamsain have in common? They are world Olympic swimmers from Sulu. They were known since the late 50’s to the early 60’s.
This same question, I threw to my students who were baffled to say, “They are not known to us”. “They are not our classmates’ sir.” I smiled at them and went on, these are Tausug swimmers who have brought fame to Philippine sports and have made names in the history of swimming. You can also find names like Jikirum Adjaluddin, Arasad Alpad, Asdai Tahil and others who were known swimmers even before World War II. The class was silenced. What was taught to them in HEKASE/Social Studies before, accordingly, was only the like of Akiko Thompson, Eric Buhain etc. but never once Tausug swimmer were told.
This week, I have visited two beautiful places. First, the Sulu Museum where I found photos of some of these swimmers posted. Hoisting the Philipines flag they were walking in the big stadium for Olympic game. One thing I am proud to watch them, is that they are Tausug who were able to reach world Olympic as symbol of being good athletes! The triumphs they have made are getting fresh as you review lines of the report written about them. I mumbled, will there be another Tausug like them? Perhaps soon.
I went to the Sports complex in Capitol Hill, where this year’s Sulu Provincial Athletic Association Meet in Sulu 1 is being held. It is very nice to see the flamboyant booth of different schools. Many school projects were exhibited, some accordingly were bought. Amateur athletes were busy in the field playing their games. Officiating officials and coaches are anxious of watching qualified athletes.
I have learned that qualified athletes for the regional meet will be chosen from this SPAAM. The athletic meet will starts on February 3 to 8. The sports complex is wide and promising more improvements. Its swimming pool is under repair and is not use in this year’s athletic meet. I heard it would be in Tigbaw again. But one teacher said, there will be no swimming competition this year. I was actually thinking that in this swimming pool shall ascend the future Tausug champion in swimming.
That Tigbaw also have caught my attention. I remember once I saw many children in swimming trunk. They are jumping over the mud colored water in the pool. They were swimmers from different schools who were busy enjoying the spring before the actual competition. Then suddenly, the officiating official whistled to call their attention.
The game is about to begin. Standing on the slippery and dirty edge of the pool, the swimmers jumped in position, then soaked into the dark water and almost instantly reached the other end. I wonder how they could dare to go on swimming with out some necessary equipment for swimming competition. Tausug athletes I said have a strong courage. When I asked one coach why they let children compete in that pool, he answered, “it is what we only have.
