—Julia Mari Ornedo/LDF, GMA News. Call 896 6000. The vessel resumed loading on April 14, with MGB Director Wilfredo Moncano justifying the sudden reversal, in an interview with independent media outfit FYT, as “maybe to reduce the economic damage’’ of the pandemic. As Ofilan put it, giving voice to the sense of betrayal felt by Homonhon residents: “For this government, it is China’s interests first, second our rights.’’. Moncano later told GMA News that export-related industries are exempted from the lockdown.


Curiously, the vessel reportedly docked for several days in Davao City before heading for Homonhon, where its appearance on April 4 prompted the island’s residents and village chiefs to jump to action.

“Our province has done all possible measures to protect our people from this disease and yet this mining operation has given Estehanons anxiety and fear over the possibility that all our efforts to prevent this disease from entering our province will go down the drain,’’ Evardone said in a letter to Cimatu. Don't miss out on the latest news and information. Some theorists even claim that the first Mass may have been celebrated in the island. Christian Ofilan of the St. John the Baptist Parish in Homonhon said the vessel’s operations had caused anxiety among the 8,000 residents of the fishing community.

“Matagal nang problema namin yung pagmimina dito sa Homonhon, matagal na matagal na iyan, mahigit na sa 30 years,” Daipen Montes, president of the organization, said in a Stand for Truth report on Thursday. Homonhon is home to around 4,800 people from eight barangays across the island. The vessel, MV VW Peace, with 13 Chinese and four Myanmar nationals, was to load 7,000 metric tons of chromite ore worth P61 million that would be shipped to — where else — China.

The cargo vessel is expected to arrive in Homonhon over the weekend to load an estimated 7,000 metric tons of chromite ores from the mining operations of Techiron Resources Inc. Fr. Residents of Homonhon Island in Eastern Samar have protested against the continued chromite ore mining of the Chinese even amid a community quarantine to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease. On April 11, the DENR’s Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Region 8 reversed a March 31 suspension order on the entry of a Chinese-manned vessel loading chromite ore from a mining site operated by Techiron Resources Inc., despite the general community quarantine imposed in the province. This sparked citizens’ appeals for the closure of mining operations on the island. He also tasked concerned agencies to “refuse the entry of any vessel attempting to dock and enter the province through the coastlines”. MV VW Peace, a Panamanian-registered vessel with a crew of 13 Chinese and four from Myanmar, arrived in Homonhon on April 4 to load about 7,000 tons of chromite ore. Four days later, however, the suspension was lifted.

Could it be? It’s an issue sa health risk na pwedeng kaharapin ng mga taga-Homonhon doon sa pagdating ng Chinese vessel na iyon,” he explained.
