DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / July 6, 2009) – Filipino environmentalists marched on Monday to protest continued mining operations in the southern Philippine province of Davao Oriental.
The protesters, led by a multi-sectoral group called Kabukiran, Kapatagan, Kadagatan Panalipdi (KKKP), said the mining operations caused pollution, flash floods and landslides in the town of Mati.
Fishermen and peasants and interfaith groups also joined the protest dubbed as “Baktas Katawhan Para sa Kinaiyahan.” They were protesting against the operation of the Bearbull Mining, Inc. in the village of Dawan. The environmental rights network PANALIPDAN-Southern Mindanao Region also participated in the march.
Gil Gentiles, KKKP chairperson, said that the mining operations started without prior consultations with the people of the affected communities.
“These hazards would also cause destruction to agricultural lands and protected area of Pujada Bay,” Gentiles said.
Sister Stella Matutina, head of the Saint Scholastica’s Institute Education to Faith and Integral Development based in Mati town, said the “Baktas Katawhan Para sa Kinaiyahan” is a unity walk for the protection, justice and integrity of creation particularly aimed to stop all destructive mining and logging operations in Mati.
“The whole world continues to feel the effects of global warming and climate change. It is a good news that there are still many people who continue to spread consciousness and awareness of the need to uphold the integrity of creation through different forms such as forest conservation, proper waste management, sustainable-organic-bio-diversified farming and strong opposition to destructive logging and mining,” she said.
Francis Morales, PANALIPDAN-SMR spokesperson, urged the provincial government to listen and take action on the just calls and demands of the citizens.
There was no immediate statement from the mining firm about the accusations.

Philippine Army denies harassing Benedictine nun, 3 others in Mindanao
DAVAO CITY, Philippines - The Army's 10th Infantry Division stood firm in its commitment to serve the nation amidst alleged harassment complaints from a nun and three other civilians in Davao Oriental province from members of the environmentalist group Panalipdan, which involved a nun, Sister Stella Matutina, from the Order of Saint Benedictine, and 3 others - Wenceslao Mapa, Maria Fe Matibo and Gil Centenales.
They complained of being arrested, detained and harassed by members of the 67th Infantry Battalion in Cateel town in Davao Oriental.
As per report, armed men were found in the Barangay Hall of Brgy Taytayan, Cateel. The report also mentioned the presence of a Barangay Kagawad from a different municipality and a nun. This scenario heightened the anxiety of concerned citizens in the area leading them to report the situation to the proper authorities.
Lt. Col. Rolando Bautista, a spokesman for the 10th Infantry Division of the Army, strongly denied the allegations of harassment against military personnel.
In a statement sent to the Mindanao Examiner, he stated that the soldiers responded to a reliable report from local populace by proceeding to the place where the consolidation of the armed group was reported.
The soldiers were surprised to see Sister Stella Matutina in the said place. She was asked some questions as part of the Standard Operating Procedures of the military and was then turned over to the parish priest of Cateel.
The military has continuously struggled to protect the civilians in rebel-infested areas like Cateel. Upon receiving reports of rebel movements or armed elements, it is their primary duty to investigate and probe into such activities. In this case of Sister Stella, the military is relentless in their position that no form of harassment was inflicted on the nun.
It is only but customary for military personnel to bring high-powered firearms when on operation and to be strong in carrying out their missions without the intention of imposing fear on civilians. Operations like this are done to verify reports of unusual or suspicious activities and not to terrorize the people contrary to what is being claimed by some.
In the case of Sister Stella, the 10ID is evaluating several facts. First point was her presence in the area of Barangay Taytayan, Cateel without proper coordination.
It was even reported that Fr. Nestor Morata, parish priest of Cateel, was dismayed when he found out that Sister Stella Matutina and her environmentalist group conducted a meeting/seminar in the area without coordinating with his office.
Second, during the military operation, Sister Stella was in civilian attire which was the reason why she was not identified and recognized as a nun. The military troop who conducted the operation had to wait until they received confirmation that she was indeed a nun.
In her statement, Sister Stella mentioned that nuns do not wear their habit when sleeping. Looking into this, it is even more dangerous that she slept in a barangay hall rather than in a parish convent where she will be safer.
Another fact is that Sister Stella claims that she was arrested along with three other members of Panalipdan which military officials strongly denied and confirmed by Fr. Morata’s statement, “Tama yung sinabi nung military na hindi nila inaresto ang madre. Tinanong lang nila yung madre then tinurn-over na nila dito sa amin.” Fourth, Sister Stella has only been here in the Philippines for almost two years since her last assignment, which lasted 18 years, was in Europe.
On the other hand, Panalipdan, an environmentalist group whose main advocacy is for environmental awareness and protection, was established only April of last year. These are the reasons that brought Sister Stella and Panalipdan members to Brgy. Taytayan for an information campaign on certain environmental issues despite the danger in these areas.
With the very short time that Sister Stella has stayed in the Philippines, particularly in Mindanao, she has not fully grasped the real threat in these rebel-infested areas.
This could also be true with Panalipdan since as a non-government organization, they have only existed for a while and perhaps, have not experienced or encountered various situations in Mindanao.
They may have known of the environmental threats in the area but in that short span of time, they may have been unaware of the intensity of danger caused by the rebel groups.
Lastly, Panalipdan released a statement that the Army is protecting the large-scale mining companies operating in the area of Davao Oriental. Military officials have reiterated that the presence of military troops in the area is mainly to neutralize the threats of rebel groups.
At the same time, the Army was deputized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to monitor the extortion activities of these lawless groups against mining companies and corporations operating in the area.
The incident in Cateel, along with the alleged harassment complaints against military personnel, prompted the military institution to once again emphasize their obligation to protect the Filipino people at all costs.
The military cannot stop civilians from coming in and out of these rebel-infested areas but they would like to appeal to the general public to make all the necessary coordination with the proper authorities.
Continuous military operations are conducted in these areas and it will be of great help if every person coming in could be monitored along with the activities they engage in.
To ensure the security situation of certain areas in Mindanao, the 10ID cannot risk being lenient especially when civilians’ lives may be put in danger.
Finally, the 10ID takes a firm stand that if indeed their soldiers have violated the human rights of Sister Stella and the three other members of Panalipdan, then, they should file a case and allow the involved members of the Armed Forces to have a fair trial. They will respond to these complaints in the proper forum.

Church people denounce nun’s continuing harassment
As the bible says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and the needy (Prov. 31:8-9). But in this obscene climate of oppression, those who live up in this prophetic role become the foremost target of persecution.
Sr. Stella Matutina, OSB is the latest victim in the escalating threats against human dignity in the region. As if her detention by the soldiers of the 67th Infantry Battalion last February 16 was not enough, surveillance and harassment against her and her congregation have also occurred.
The Promotion of Church People’s Response (PCPR) strongly condemns this blatant disrespect and persecution of fellow church people. We strongly criticize the continuing persecution and Sr. Matutina’s saga and quest for justice against the arrest, arbitrary detention and harassment of the 67th Infantry Battalion.
Sr. Matutina has opted to live for the poor by being in solidarity with them in their struggle in the defense of the environment and life. Outside the confines of her convent, she, along with other advocates, went to the outside world, in the vastness of Davao Oriental hinterlands, where logging activities and mining explorations thrive posing threat to the environment and to God’s people.
Her vocation has brought her even closer to God’s people, risking the ire of the military establishment which apparently protects big business interest in the areas where she serve.
We are disheartened with the chilling truth that even us, church people, can fell prey to the hostility of the supposedly protector of our people. But it is not surprising though for this is only a part of the extensive design of the OPLAN BANTAY LAYA, the Arroyo government’s counter-insurgency program that principally targets civilians, human rights defenders and advocates.
We wholly support Sr. Matutina and her quest for justice. We call on our fellow church people to continue the ecumenical praxis for the defense, promotion and upholding of people’s rights and the integrity of creation.
We also enjoin our fellow church people to assert and to defend the integrity of the church people response to the challenges posed by the struggle of the Filipino people.
“Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Lk. 12:32). Tell everyone, therefore, who is discouraged: Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your adversaries!”

Sister Estella Matutina Speaks
STATEMENT OF SR. STELLA MATUTINA, OSB & PANALIPDAN-DAVAO ORIENTAL VICE CHAIRPERSON ON THE MILITARY'S SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS.
Good morning, friends in the media, and my fellow religious and church workers. Today, I speak to all of you my thoughts on the unfortunate incident, as a servant of God has to go through. At the same time, to pose a challenge to everyone to overcome evil and continue to heed God’s calling.
I am Sr. Stella Matutina, a member of Order of St. Benedictine (OSB) assigned in Dawan Parish, Mati, Davao Oriental.
This year will be my second year of staying here in the Philippines. Previously, I was assigned abroad, in Europe , particularly, for 18 years, doing religious formation for foreign missions.
Reaching out to communities especially to poor ones is part of our congregation’s mission; we believe it is a way of exemplifying the real meaning of being a Christian, of being a follower of Christ.
My stint in Davao Oriental showed me the beauty and the abundance of the province with natural resources and mineral- rich lands. These resources are best to be utilized and benefited by the people themselves, for the development of their communities.
In my current assignment, I am mainly a trainor on sustainable agriculture. We want to promote sustainable agriculture as an alternative to mining. Large-scale mining as practiced by big mining corporations in the name of profit and greed is detrimental to our environment and people.
I am assigned in a socio-pastoral community in Mati where community-building activities are being conducted to help the people with their livelihood and welfare. We respond to different parish areas who invite us to provide educational trainings about sustainable agriculture.
The creation of Panalipdan, in April last year, was very timely with the intrusion of different mining companies in Davao Oriental. Panalipdan, of which I am an officer, is a multi-sectoral alliance for environmental awareness and protection and at the same time for the defense of our lands from the exploitation of big capitalists.
Since Panalipdan’s formation, we documented different mining operations and activities in Davao Oriental. We were able to conduct forums and film showings, and even attended barangay consultations regarding the entry of mining companies.
Our advocacy on anti- mining became well-known in Davao Oriental. In fact, one of our success stories is in Barangay Isidro, Lupon where equipment for mining operations of one company were prevented entry because of the people’s resistance.
A week before our forum in Taytayan, we went to Brgy. Surop, Governor Generoso to document and interview one person, whose brother, a miner of Sinophil Mining Corporation in Governor Generoso, died during a mining-related activity.
The forum in Barangay Taytayan, Cateel last February 15 is only one of our usual information- drive campaigns about environmental awareness and protection. As their invitation letter indicated, Barangay Taytayan experienced waist-high floods in the month of January which alarmed the residents and posed real danger on their lives.
We arrived in Cateel around 4:30 a.m. Then, at 5 o’clock I went to mass and after the mass, I informed Fr. Nestor Morata, the parish priest there, that I was there because I was invited to give a film showing in Taytayan and I even told him that I wanted to see Aliwagwag falls. He even invited me for coffee which I gently refused because my companions were waiting for me.
After the forum last February 15, my colleagues and I decided to pass the night in the Barangay Hall. At around 3:30 am, while sleeping at the second floor, we heard a noise from the first floor, as if somebody wanted to barge into the door.
Before we could manage to rise from our makeshift beds, we could see through the glass door silhouettes of several armed men hurriedly climbing the stairs and running toward us. They held us at gunpoint. I was still lying down when I raised my two hands and asked them what the matter was.
They asked for our names and at the same time reported it over their handheld radio device. They demanded to see the documents and materials we used during the training. We insisted that they give their names but our effort was futile. We peeped through the window and saw several soldiers outside and realized we were surrounded.
Truth to tell, I am furious with the incident. If the military can do such harassment to a nun like me, how much more to ordinary people who cannot defend their rights? I am more angered with what Lt. Soriao told me: that nuns like me should stay in the convent praying, and should not be in Barangay Taytayan, that nuns are just feigning to be religious but later on, they will organize the people to make them turn against the government.
Is this how peacebuilders like us should be treated and be accused?
When I raised my two hands, I remember I made the same gesture when I accepted my vow as a nun. As a nun, a church worker, a peacebuilder, as an environmental advocate, my life and those who are into the same profession and advocacy are constantly in danger as we thwart the evils of exploitation, greed, and corruption against our fellowmen.
My passion to serve my fellow human beings brought me to my journey in Cateel. If it is because of my passion to follow Christ that I will die, then let it be.
I may liken my plight to that of a tiny ant facing a big elephant. Actually, this is a story shared to me by a Sister in Africa . An ant may be tiny, and an elephant enormous and its trunk is a mighty weapon. But an ant knows where to hit the weak spot of an elephant. And when many ants bite an elephant, this huge beast will fall from the pain, and die. I may be a tiny ant in this journey, but together with other ants, we can face whatever adversary and overcome them.
But I am not afraid, and I pose this as a challenge: that we should not all be afraid. In the Bible, 1 Peter 5:8, the word of God says, “Stay sober and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him be solid in your faith.”

Human Rights Groups Denounce Military Harassment
Statement on the Harassment, Illegal Arrest and Detention of Sister Stella Matutina,
Maria Fe Matibo, Wenceslao Mapa and Gil Sentimales
We, members of the Canada-Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights (CPS-HR) in British Columbia, Canada, express our outrage and disbelief at the harassment, illegal arrest, and detention of Sr. Stella Matutina of the Missionary Benedictine sisters and of Maria Fe Matibo, Wenceslao Mapa, and Gil Sentinales, all environmental advocates, last February 16, 2009 in Davao Oriental. Sr. Stella and her companions are members of the Panalipdan, a multi-sectoral alliance for environmental awareness and protection, firm in its anti-mining position and defense of the people's lands.
According to the Sisters Association in Mindanao (SAMIN), Sr. Matutina and her companions were invited by the local officials of Taytayan, Cateel, Davao to talk to the community about environmental awareness and protection.
It is unfortunate that just when entire communities, institutions and individuals all over the world are searching for and working on solutions to environmental problems like global climate change that threaten our very survival as a nation and as a planet, the Philippine military, steeped in paranoia and shortsightedness, once again raises the “terrorist” or “communist” specter to justify detaining Sr. Matutina and company. In this case, officials of the 67th Infantry Battalion alluded to “fake nuns organizing people against the government,” and going as far as to say, “a nun’s place is in the convent.”
We are aware of the backdrop on which this overzealous defense of the government by the military is being played. Mindanao, like the rest of the Philippines, has been and continues to be sold one hundred per cent to foreign big business, foremost of which are mining and logging interests.
With their local partners, among them political and military bigwigs, and the Presidential family, these profit leeches reap the bonanza of the plunder of the national patrimony and could not care less about the pollution of the Philippine lands and rivers, and the deprivation of the people 's right to life and their resources.
We commend Sr. Matutina and her companions for fearlessly standing up for and with the people in the pursuit of justice and genuine development, in spite of the state’s terrorism that they face every single day. We give them our full support as they tread the dangerous path of working with the people in defense of their land and life.
We denounce the culture of impunity that is the hallmark of the government's Oplan Bantay Laya. Touted as the Arroyo regime's “counter insurgency” weapon, it is intended to silence dissent, terrorize the people, trample on their civil rights and liberties and eliminate (or disappear) activists, community organizers and nationalists. The Arroyo regime, its military and agents must be made to stop these gross human rights violations and be held accountable for them.
Justice for Sr. Stella Matutia, OSB and environmental activists. Stop Military Persecution of Church People. NO to large-scale Mining and Militarization.
