They call me Fartman, because I'm silent but deadly. Low tolerance for stupidity, which explains my perpetually red face.

I appreciate that the rules of Power Supply Agreements must be followed. But with recent developments that cause crazy market movements of imported fuel maybe it's time to allow for exceptions. @meralco #ACENCorp @ERCgovPH

Govt has announced that water allocation to @Maynilad and @ManilaWater will be reduced. I hope these repairs will help minimize rationing interruptions from leaks.

[The Philippine Star @PhilippineStar]

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services Inc. spent P3 billion to replace over 140 kilometers of old pipelines last year, allowing it to recover more water and improve services to some 200,000 customers. https://t.co/0byyPbTqVU

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@PhilippineStar And just in time. The National Water Resource Board said that water allocations to @maynilad and @ManilaWaterPH will be reduced. Hope these repairs help minimize rationing interruptions.

Not one to let anything go to waste, @PhilexMiningPA mines the last of Padcal's gold and copper to take advantage of higher prices, even with lower quality ore.

[Manila Bulletin Business News @MB_BusinessNews]

Philex Mining Corporation, the gold/copper producer controlled by Manuel Pangilinan through First Pacific Company, reported a 44.4 percent drop in core net income to P963 million last year from P1.73 billion in 2022 due to lower output from its Padcal mine

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@MB_BusinessNews I guess @PhilexMiningPA is taking advantage of favorable gold prices to mine even low-quality ore which is what's left after Padcal was originally scheduled to shut down.

Eventually all major PHL mines will have to submit themselves for evaluation to prove they follow the tenets of @tsminitiative

[BusinessMirror @BusinessMirror]

Beginning this year, all 19 members of the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (COMP) with operating mines in the Philippines will fully implement the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@BusinessMirror I'm sure the 3 volunteer mines for the mock testing will pass; they are the top mines: @PhilexMiningPA , @OceanaGoldPh & #RioTuba

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@SolarPhils New Energy Corp. was going its own quiet way, then along comes @iamMVP who bought controlling interest, and *BOOM*. Now #SPNEC sits alongside SM, BDO, BPI, Jollibee, etc. in the MSCI Philippines Index.

@bilyonaryo_ph I'm guessing if @officialLRT1 had not sued government for delayed rate hikes some years back LRT1 would never have gotten it. Makes sense to have one owner like @mpic_ph for the whole line.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

Hoping govt and the public learn a valuable lesson: Fare hikes are ther4er for a reason. You want cheap, dopn't complain about poor service. You want good service, then pay for it. Now the shares of @officialLRT1 have become more saleable.

[Bilyonaryo @bilyonaryo_ph]

Ayala Corp., one of the country’s oldest conglomerates, is gearing up to raise an estimated $350 million to $400 million through the sale of its interests in Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) and Manila Water Co. Inc. this year.

@inquirerdotnet What a surprise . . .

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@inquirerdotnet A favorite tactic of anti-mining groups is to make sweeping generalizations and assumptions w/o scientific evidence to back it.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

If you don't believe what @DENROfficial says the disprove it with hard evidence. Not assumptions, not analogies, not sweeping generalizations. But facts supported by science.

Davao de Oro town landslide due to natural causes, says MGB exec https://t.co/hPpb6edIkq

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

We must repair the effects of decades of legislation unfair to mining from lawmakers pandering to a misled public instead of to hard science. The mining industry is too volatile to keep flip-flopping. @ChamberOfMines

[Inquirer @inquirerdotnet]

Gov’t foresees dimes from mining, but miners espy nickel https://t.co/eHz9zAUmOM

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@inquirerdotnet With the volatility of the mining industry, we need legislation that is fair and science-based rather than one born out of pandering to a misled public. @ChamberOfMines

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

A historical moment with @PhilexMiningPA . In addition to their usual gold and copper they are now exploring their nickel mines in Zambales.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@jaytaryela Even his writing style sucks.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

The @ChamberOfMines should ensure that its members adhere to the law because even one tiny violation and the haters will make it look like the entire #responsiblemining industry is like that.

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

We are No 2 in nickel deposits, no. 4 in cobalt yet years of misinformation has held the industry back. Now that govt looks more fairly towards mining it can show the full benefits while remaining responsible.

[BusinessWorld @bworldph]

Miners are expected to perform well in 2024 due to increased demand for transition minerals used by the renewable energy industry, mining officials said.

https://t.co/aQFrVzuZHm

[Calvin Santos @CalvinSantos1]

@bworldph PHL is world's No 2 source of nickel and No 4 for cobalt yet we failed to extract the full benefits because of years of sweeping and inaccurate generalizations. Now we have the chance to show mining can be responsible and beneficial to the economy.
