TVIRD slams order to stop mining probe

ILOILO CITY: TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc. (TVIRD) blasted the cease and desist order (CDO) issued by the Iloilo provincial government on the mining exploration on Pan de Acuzar island which it described as 'abrupt and haphazard.'

'TVIRD was caught by surprise by the abrupt and haphazard issuance of the CDO, considering that they were not afforded an opportunity to present their side via a preceding Show Cause Order,' the mining company told The Manila Times on March 11.
