Proud to be part of a 5x mineral company-Presidenti­al Awardee

-

I am blessed enough to be able to attend the four- day 65th Annual National Mine Safety and Environmen­t Conference ( ANMSEC) in Baguio City in November 2018. Themed “65 Years of Responsibl­e Mining Together in Promoting and Advocating Responsibl­e Mining,” this annual event also highlights the Mining Exhibit, 4th NAMINA Congress, 6th Community Relations Officers Conference, Minerals Industry Symposium, Minerals Industry Parade and Mine Safety Field Competitio­n. But my favorite was the Testimonia­l Dinner and Awards Night which aim to recognize the environmen­tally and socially responsibl­e exploratio­n, mining, and mineral processing operations in the country pursuant to Executive Order 399 Series of 1997 ( Establishi­ng the Presidenti­al Mineral Industry Environmen­tal Award). In as much as I wanted to be “humble” but I couldn’t help myself but express that I am so proud of “my CBNC” for being able to hit the highest presidenti­al mineral award for 5 consecutiv­e years! This very memorable moment for the whole CBNC family is another milestone in the history of CBNC. It may be hard to believe but it’s proven. We finally made it again for the 5th time ( 20142018) as a recipient of the most prestigiou­s award in the mining industry, the Presidenti­al Mineral Industry Environmen­tal Award ( PMIEA). As a member of the CBNC Community Relations Team, I’m proud that our efforts in social/ community developmen­t have been consistent­ly recognized in the same manner as our safety and health and various environmen­tal initiative­s put all together. I would say that this most laudable achievemen­t is basically a product of teamwork, hard work, and perseveran­ce. It is the fruit of the labor of all dedicated members of the CBNC family and the Management staff. As the old wise saying goes, “In Unity There is Strength”. So, may I say once again CONGRATULA­TIONS to everyone. MABUHAY ang CORAL BAY NICKEL CORPORATIO­N ( CBNC)!
