On the 20th year anniversary of the Mining Act of 1995, hundreds of indigenous peoples and environmentalist protest in Mendiola Manila near Malacanang Palace (the official residence of Phil. President Aquino III) to call to scrap the Mining Act 1995. "The Mining Act 1995 is a complete failure - from its sell-out of our national patrimony, to its perpetuation of a culture of impunity towards mining-affected communities, down to its unending string of environmental disasters. That Aquino perpetuated more of the same is a betrayal of the people and is basis for his resignation," said Clemente Bau
