“This is a symbol of our united call for the government to take our side against mining. This is not a political call but a campaign because we are one of the biggest suppliers of rice not only to neighboring towns but also to other provinces. We do not want to import rice because of what they are doing to us,” said Jesus Cabias Jr., an organizer of a prayer vigil in Barangay Maya here, on Saturday.
Cabias recalled they managed to stop black sand mining in 2012 through a six-month protest.
