locals want/need renewall
found in my twitter feed ;
As the FTAA renewal of OGPI remains uncertain, over 500 of its direct employees, and over 400 employees of their contractors have lost their jobs. Teachers, health workers, barangay workers whose salaries are being subsidized by the SDMP from OGPI have likewise been affected.
Development projects for the communities within and sourrounding the mine were stopped. "Paano na ang development sa lugar natin pag mawawala ang Oceanagold ng maaga? Sana aprubahan na ni Preaident ang FTAA". These are the common you can here from the community members.
translated part by google and corrected by me :
What will be the development in our area if Oceanagold disappears? Hopefully President will approve the FTAA soon.

So I am guessing there must be some pressure from the locals.
