00:00Visited in Camarines Norte is an illegal mining company that employs Chinese who only have tourist visas.
00:08This was reported by Bob Gonzales.
00:14Earlier this morning, the Bureau of Immigration, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC, AFP and PNP
00:21visited a mineral processing plant in Barangay Tugo in Paracale, Camarines Norte, according to PAOC.
00:2611 Chinese nationals were involved in illegal mining there, according to the governor of the province.
00:33It's like a backyard, but you can see how big the equipment they use is.
00:39It's not small-scale, it's open pit, large-scale mining.
00:44A Chinese man was caught by the authorities.
00:47He was pulled by a rope.
00:53Some of them don't have protective equipment.
01:02According to PAOC, the company has an environmental compliance certificate in one place, but their expansion to other areas is illegal.
01:18The Chinese only have tourist visas, so they shouldn't be working in the Philippines.
01:25They will be brought to PAOC for an inquest tomorrow on immigration violations.
01:30They will also be fined for violating the Philippine Mining Act and Clean Water Act.
01:34The owner of the land where the Chinese are mining refused to give a statement.
01:39We are also trying to get a statement from Paracale LGU.
