Stop Black Sand Mining

My friend and I were discussing topics about our environment when she told me about the black sand mining in Ilocos. We've been to Ilocos last 2011 and it's a very beautiful place. When my friend told me about the sand mining and its negative effects on the environment I felt really sad and angry (and frustrated).

So I went to see if there was an online petition so I can sign up and saw that there was one. It was published last year but it only has 295 signatures. I hope more people will be aware of this.

Please sign to the petition:


STOP BLACK SAND/MAGNETITE MINING IN ILOCOS REGION AND CAGAYAN

Dear Neighbors

"People never change. They just become more of who they really are."

That's what I think about our neighbors. When I was  younger I would always see them fight, get drunk, shout and cursed at each other, etc. 

As I grew older these people still never changed. I'm getting tired of seeing them. I'm getting tired of their fights. I'm tired of their crap. :/
