To avert fresh violence, Environment Secretary Joselito Atienza on Thursday ordered an Australian mining firm to stop hauling equipment to its mining exploration site in Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya.
Scores of tribal folks were hurt Wednesday afternoon after clashing with paramilitary forces who tried to transport heavy equipment past their barricade to the Oxiana Philippines Inc. site.
