Mistulang mining capital ang Zambales. Noong panahon ng panunungkulan ni Governor Vic Magsaysay, malalaking minahan lamang ang namamayagpag. Pero sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang lokal na pamunuan ni Governor Amor Deloso, mas pinaigting ang kampanya para sa pagsusuporta hindi lamang sa malalaking minahan kundi maging sa small-scale mining o SSM.

This is not necessarily good news. Its better to have a few large companies than many small scale companies. For one , smaller companies tend to destroy the environment more than large companies. Smaller means employing less qualified technical people and lesser concern in addressing environmental issues. And if something goes wrong , we can run after the large one. The smaller ones will just pack up.
