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.
ONE of the suspects in the killing of radio broadcaster and environmentalist Dr. Gerry Ortega was captured by operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Palawan province, police reported on Wednesday.  
 
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.”
CIDG chief and police director Samuel Pagdilao Jr. said that lawyer Romeo Seratubias, the former provincial administrator of Palawan, was arrested on Tuesday night.
 
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.
Seratubias was implicated in the sensational killing after investigators found out that he owned the gun allegedly used by Rolando Edrad, alias Bumar, in killing Ortega on January 24, 2011 in Puerto Princesa City.
 
Don’t miss the finale of Inside: Mining this Wednesday on BORN TO BE WILD, after Saksi.
The Palawan Regional Trial Court’s Branch 52 also on Tuesday ordered the arrest of Seratubias, along with former Gov. Joel Reyes of Palawan, his brother Mario—the mayor of the province’s Coron town—and three others in connection with the case.
 
CIDG-Mimaropa (Mindoro Occidental, Mindoro Oriental, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan) chief Col. Nazario Fernandez said that Seratubias is now in their custody.
