RE:Re: RE:Does somebody know somethingPolitics always has the upper hand in deciding the final outcome. What I believe is to come is that Duterte needs this producing mine to collect $$$ as this is much needed for the economy with what is going on globally. At the end of the day, gold is gold and having it shut down will leave $$$ in the ground, which is not what the government wants to see and honestly can't afford to see happen for the community, workers and economy.
IMO, this will drag out for a while longer until the pressure subsides as Duterte needs to show his people some form of committment to their case, without ignoring thier concerns. This is of course my opinion only.
