BOAC, Marinduque, Mar. 23 (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office (NSO) Region 4B has awarded the Local Civil Registry Office of Boac as one of the Top Performing Local Civil Registry Offices, Medium Category.  
Doc Nielsen Donato and Kiko Rustia have travelled the country to see how gold, nickel and coal – three of the most consumed minerals – are mined. They also discovered how these minerals are used in everyday life. Gold is used for luxury items like jewellery and nickel is found in almost every modern convenience. Even coal, a power source for our gadgets, electronics and homes, also comes from mining.
 
 
Indeed, a life without metals and minerals may be hard to imagine. Yet while we are so dependent on minerals for our everyday needs, Doc Nielsen also discovers mining products that eventually end up as waste. In Tondo, Manila he visits a community that lives off of other people’s e-waste – discarded computers and electronics, which are some of the most common end products of mining. Doc Nielsen also discovers a community in Nueva Ecija, where people attempt to reduce their “mining footprint.”
The award was announced during the second Regional Seminar of Solemnizing Officers, which was held on March 13 to 14 at the Sikatuna Beach Hotel and Restaurant, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. The Regional Director of the National Statistics Office Region 4B, Flordeliza Monteclaro, awarded the Certificate of Recognition.  
 
While in Marinduque, Kiko Rustia witnesses a site that local residents describe as having one of the most devastating aftermaths of mining, where mine tailings and waste can still be seen decades after the operations ceased.
 
The awarding coincided with the celebration of the Women’s Month and the Kasalang Bayan sa Boac which has been a regular project of the Local Civil Registry Office for almost six years now and headed by Dhalia Jandusay.  
Don’t miss the finale of Inside: Mining this Wednesday on BORN TO BE WILD, after Saksi.
 
 
Jandusay has been serving the LCRO since 1996, doing projects that encourage people to properly register public documents, particularly on marriage, birth and death of a family member. Jandusay said she continues to support projects like this because she notices the number of registry specifically for marriage goes down every year.
