Mount Tapulao: Mining or Tourism?
February 4, 2009
Last 2008 the municipality of Palauig was so proud to promote Mount Tapulao as a newly discovered place for nature lovers especially for mountaineers. There were big posters in front of the municipal hall and all that but then they removed those already. Why? Humors said that they won’t continue to promote Mt.Tapulao anymore,but instead they will do mining in the mountain. What the hell they were thinking? Mount Tapulao is now making impressions to mountaineers and tourists, so what are they doing? They said that mining would surely generate income and work for Palauigeños. Yes,that is really possible but how about the preservation of the mountain? Aside from the beaches in Locloc and Magalawa that Palauig have as a tourist destination, God gave us Mount Tapulao. Any reason behind that mining whatever, that surely involves MONEY on the part of those who are responsible to it.
