+ December 30, 2020 BARELY a month before a deadly landslide hit a mining pit in Barangay Biga, Toledo City last Dec. 21, 2020, residents sought the help of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) to temporarily halt the mining operations of Carmen Copper Corp. (CCC) after large cracks were discovered in their village.
But the appeal reportedly fell on deaf ears.
