Illegal quarry shut down in Bulacan

BULACAN Gov. Daniel Fernando inspected on Tuesday the illegal mining operation authorities halted due to lack of operating permit.

The quarry is located in a five-hectare lot in a hidden farmland in Sitio Alimasag, Barangay Camangyanan, Santa Maria, Bulacan where high-grade escombro, a type of natural resource, is being mined without authorization.
