	Bagacay abandoned mine, Jan. 8, 2008 Nestled among the foggy, forested mountains of Western Samar is the abandoned pyrite and copper mine of Bagacay in the municipality of Hinabangan. The Marinduque Iron Mines Agent, Inc. (MMIC) began mining this area in 1956. In 1985, a Memorandum of Agreement between MMIC and PHILPHOS transferred mining rights to the Philippine Pyrite Corp. (PPC). This video shows open pits that PPC abandoned in 1992 and are now partially eroded. Part of the 70-hectare failed reforestation area is also viewed. (Former officials of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources were given PhP5 million for the task. They did not test for soil quality, and none of the planted trees survived. Only the sticks that were supposed to guide their growth remain.) Also seen here are shots of dark effluent flowing downhill from the mine site to the village, along the way discoloring limestone into black, rich ochre, and a rather smelly bright yellow. Residents suspect the yellow tinge is caused by sulfur which was heavily used at the mine. Lastly, a view of the Central Guila-guila Creek is included. Without any water treatment, soil rehabilitation or tailings pit maintainance, acid mine drainage continues to pollute the Guila-guila Creek. Guila-guila runs through the mined area, flowing near the tailings dams and all abandoned pits, before draining into the Taft River. Residents of Bagacay get their drinking water from hand pumps and deep wells. They are conflicted about the idea of resuming mining operations in the area because, while they are very concerned about water safety and other environmental and health impacts of mining, they are also in dire need of livelihood. A temporary dam of piled stones, not expected to last the next storm, has been commissioned by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, to block larger pieces of rock from being carried by the water down to the village. An experimental farm plot also continues to search for ways to make the abandoned mine site sustain plant life again. Moreover, a rehabilitation of the abandoned mine using World Bank funding is being prepared, but will not include soil treatment and water quality restoration. Residents are asking how far their government will go for environmentally sound poverty reduction. (With support from JJCICSI.)

	Institute of Arbitrators & Mediators Australia (IAMA) The Hon Justice Neville Owen and Simon Balderstone AM interviewed by the Australian national broadcaster, ABC. IAMA National Conference - ADR: The Boom & Beyond, Fremantle, April 11 - 13 2008 The Institute of Arbitrators & Mediators Australia (www.iama.org.au) is the nation's largest, independent and most experienced alternative dispute resolution (ADR)organisation. Each year, it hosts a national conference which attracts leading practitioners, industry participants and academics, bringing together key influencers and stakeholders from the public sector and private enterprise, to be informed of the emerging trends in resolving commercial disputes. The 2008 conference in Fremantle, Western Australia was no exception. The ADR: The Boom and Beyond conference focused on dispute resolution services in this boom environment. Australia is at the epicentre of an international commodity boom, fuelled by the demands of a global market and buoyant world trade. The exponential increase in growth of Australia's social and economic infrastructure has brought change. Change inevitably brings challenges resulting in disputes which need timely and cost effective resolution. This conference focused on the ability of ADR meeting these challenges and how ADR professionals can best meet the needs of the consumers of alternative dispute resolution services in this boom environment. The program took the form of plenary sessions, interactive workshops and streamed presentations covering a wide range of topics. The ADR in Action session held on Friday, 11 April was aimed specifically at the resources industry with a series of presentations by leading ADR practitioners that illustrated how alternative dispute resolution processes are used. Industry representatives were able to hear first hand how ADR is working in their field and how ADR processes can be applied to real life disputes. The keynote speaker for this session was property developer turned iron ore magnate, Professor Clive Palmer, Chairman of Mineralogy Pty Ltd. The conference was attended by IAMA members from around Australia, as well as international delegates from the UK, US, and the ASEAN region, including China, Singapore, India and Malaysia. Historic bilateral agreements were signed with the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) and the Arbitration Council of Cambodia. A Memorandum of Co-operation was also signed with The Academy of Experts. A London-based global organisation, the academy was established in 1987 to promote the better use of experts and to ensure that a standard of excellence is maintained and developed. There were streamed sessions aimed at specialist groups as diverse as the oil and gas industry, the legal profession,building and construction, and the computer and telecommunications industry and the latest developments in arbitration, mediation and adjudication. There were also sessions on workplace disputes, family law, intellectual property, dispute resolution in the equine industry, dispute resolution boards, international arbitration,creative conflict resolution, the adoption of non-binding Islamic methods in arbitrations and online ADR, to name a few. Of special interest to mediators there were presentations on the national mediator accreditation standards. Once again, the Institute's conference featured an array of eminent speakers and presenters. We were honoured to have distinguished judge, the Hon Neville Owen, Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia deliver the Conference's keynote address: 'Dispute Resolution: Idle Musings on the Eristic, Extispicy and the Exegesis. Justice Owen, who has a special interest in corporate governance, commercial litigation, corporate insolvency and business ethics headed the landmark Royal Commission into the collapse of the HIH Insurance group, and will soon hand down judgement in the landmark Bell case, the longest running and most expensive case in Australian history. Other speakers included the Hon Sir Laurence Street AC KCMG QC, Chairman of the International Legal Services Advisory Council of Australia, Dr James Popple, First Assistant Secretary, Legal Services and Personal Property Securities of the Australian Attorney-General's Department and Simon Balderstone AM, former Ministerial and Prime Ministerial Senior Advisor and Advisor to the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic movement.
