Good day! Hi, I have read an article from Philippine Daily Inquirer about them having a report from FOI with regard to the Palawan Quicksilver Mining on the issues of mercury contamination. I hope that you have a copy of such that could help me for my thesis writing on resolving mercury pollution. The summary is: 1) The residents of the villages of Sta. Lourdes and Tagburos, with a combined population of more than 10,000, are suffering from varying degrees of mercury poisoning due to constant exposure to mine tailings and ingestion of marine products contaminated by poisonous mercury ore.
