๐‚๐ˆ๐“๐˜ ๐Ž๐… ๐Œ๐€๐“๐ˆ, Davao Oriental โ€” Ang padayon nga mga barikada nga nakababag sa dalan paingon sa Pujada Nickel Project dili na lamang nakaapekto sa operasyon sa mina. Ang epekto niini gibati na usab sa mga trabahante ug ilang pamilya, mga estudyante, contractors, suppliers, service providers, lokal nga mga negosyo, ug mga komunidad nga nagsalig sa hapsay nga paglihok sa mga tawo, produkto ug serbisyo sa maong lugar.

Sukad niadtong 21 Hulyo 2026, ang mga barikada sa Provincial Road paingon sa project area nakababag sa normal nga pagbiyahe sa gibana-banang 2,000 ka empleyado ug contractors, lakip na ang mga sakyanan nga nagdala og fuel, pagkaon, kagamitan, materyales ug uban pang importanteng suplay.

Ang epekto sa barikada nakaabot usab sa mga serbisyo alang sa komunidad, lakip ang adlaw-adlaw nga transportasyon sa gibana-banang 300 ka estudyante gikan sa lokal nga mga komunidad pinaagi sa school buses nga giprovide sa Hallmark Mining Corporation (HMC).

Niadtong 16 Agosto 2026, ang mga school bus nga giprovide sa HMC alang sa gibana-banang 300 ka estudyante matag adlaw wala tugoti nga makaagi sa barikada.

Ang school bus service kabahin sa suporta sa kompanya ngadto sa mga komunidad sa palibot ug naghatag og regular nga transportasyon sa mga estudyante paingon ug gikan sa ilang mga eskwelahan.

Nagpakita kini nga ang epekto sa padayon nga mga barikada dili na lamang limitado sa operasyon sa mina, apan nakaapekto na usab sa mga importanteng serbisyo nga gisaligan sa mga estudyante ug ilang mga pamilya.

Nabalaka ang HMC nga ang padayon nga pagbabag sa dalan direktang makaapekto sa abilidad sa mga estudyante sa pag-adto ug pagpauli gikan sa eskwelahan.

Ang padayon nga restriksyon sa dalan nakaapekto usab sa gibana-banang 2,000 ka HMC employees ug contractors, kansang normal nga pagbiyahe paingon ug gikan sa project area nababagan.

Luyo niining mga trabahante mao ang ilang mga pamilya nga nagsalig sa ilang kita ug panginahanglan matag adlaw gikan sa padayon nga trabaho ug ekonomikanhong kalihokan nga may kalabotan sa proyekto.

Ang epekto miabot usab sa contractors, suppliers, lokal nga mga negosyo ug service providers kansang panginabuhian konektado sa paglihok sa mga tawo, produkto ug serbisyo nga nagsuporta sa Pujada Nickel Project.

Samtang magdugay ang mga barikada, mas modako usab ang posibleng epekto dili lamang sa kompanya, kondili sa mas daghang pamilya ug komunidad kansang panginabuhian ug ekonomikanhong kalihokan konektado sa proyekto.

Ang mga barikada nakaapekto sa normal nga pagdala sa fuel, pagkaon, kagamitan, materyales ug uban pang importanteng suplay nga gikinahanglan aron mapadayon ang operasyon sa proyekto ug pagsuporta sa mga komunidad sa lugar.

Ang nagsugod isip problema sa access sa dalan nahimo nang mas lapad nga concern sa komunidad nga nakaapekto sa panginabuhian sa mga trabahante, transportasyon sa mga estudyante, community services ug pagdala sa importanteng mga suplay.
Gipasiugda sa HMC nga ang mga isyu kalabot sa IP royalty payment kinahanglan nga hisgutan ug sulbaron pinaagi sa tukmang legal ug administrative processes, nga dili kinahanglan makaabala sa mga trabahante, estudyante ug komunidad.

Ang Pujada Nickel Project naglihok ubos sa Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSAs) nga giaprobahan sa National Government pinaagi sa Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Kini nagtugot sa mineral exploration, development ug utilization sulod sa giaprobahang contract areas, ubos sa mga balaod sa Pilipinas, environmental requirements ug government regulations.

Pormal nang gipahibalo sa HMC ang DENR Mines and Geosciences Bureau โ€“ Region XI (MGB XI) mahitungod sa pagbabag sa access road ug sa epekto niini sa operasyon sa proyekto.

Ang kompanya padayon usab nga nakig-coordinate sa National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), Philippine National Police (PNP) ug uban pang tukmang ahensya sa gobyerno mahitungod sa sitwasyon.

Giila ug gitahod sa Hallmark Mining ang katungod sa mga indibidwal, Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples, ug uban pang stakeholders sa pagpahayag sa ilang mga lehitimong concern pinaagi sa malinawon ug legal nga pamaagi.

Apan nanawagan ang kompanya nga ang mga reklamo ug concern ipadayag ug sulbaron pinaagi sa dialogue ug established legal and administrative processes, nga dili makabalda sa edukasyon, panginabuhian ug adlaw-adlaw nga kinabuhi sa mga tawo nga dili direktang kabahin sa panaglalis.

Ilabi na, nanawagan ang HMC nga ang gibana-banang 300 ka estudyante nga nagsalig sa school transportation nga giprovide sa kompanya matag adlaw, ang hapit 2,000 ka trabahante ug contractors, ilang mga pamilya, ug ang mga komunidad sa palibot dili unta maoy pas-anon sa epekto sa padayon nga mga barikada.

Ang Hallmark Mining nagpabiling bukas sa constructive dialogue ug padayon nga nangita og malinawon ug legal nga resolusyon nga manalipod sa katungod, kaluwasan ug kaayohan sa tanang hingtungdan.

Ang kompanya nagpabiling committed sa responsible mining, environmental protection, pagtahod sa Indigenous Peoples ug host communities, pagsunod sa government regulations, ug sa padayon nga kontribusyon sa Pujada Nickel Project ngadto sa edukasyon, trabaho, panginabuhian ug lokal nga economic development.

๐‚๐ˆ๐“๐˜ ๐Ž๐… ๐Œ๐€๐“๐ˆ, Davao Oriental โ€” The continuing illegal barricades affecting road access to the Pujada Nickel Project are no longer impacting mine operations alone. Their effects are increasingly being felt by workers, their families, students, contractors, service providers and communities that depend on the movement of people, goods and services along the project access corridor.

Since 21 July 2026, access blockades along the Provincial Road leading to the project area have disrupted the normal movement of approximately 2,000 employees and contractors, as well as vehicles transporting fuel, food, equipment, materials and other essential supplies.

The disruption has extended to community services, including the daily transportation of approximately 300 students from local communities using school buses provided by Hallmark Mining Corporation (HMC).

On 16 August 2026, school buses provided by HMC to serve approximately 300 students daily from local communities were not allowed to pass through the barricade.

The school bus service forms part of the support extended by the Company to surrounding communities and provides students with regular transportation for their schooling.

The incident demonstrates how the continuing illegal barricades are extending beyond mining operations and affecting services relied upon by students and their families.

Hallmark Mining is concerned that continued blockades directly interfere with the ability of these students to travel to and from school.

Hallmark Mining therefore appeals that school buses and vehicles providing emergency and other essential community services be allowed to pass without obstruction.

The continuing restrictions are also affecting approximately 2,000 HMC employees and contractors whose normal movement to and from the project has been disrupted.

Behind these workers are families whose household incomes and daily needs depend on their continued employment and economic activities associated with the project.

The impact also extends to contractors, suppliers, local businesses and service providers whose livelihoods are linked to the movement of people, goods and services supporting the project.

The longer the barricades continue, the greater the potential consequences, not only for the Company, but also to the broader network of families and communities whose livelihoods and economic activities are connected with the Pujada Nickel Project.

The barricades have affected the normal movement of fuel, food, equipment, materials and other essential supplies required to sustain the project and support the communities within the area.

What began as an access issue has developed into a broader community concern involving workers' livelihoods, student transportation, community services and the movement of essential supplies.
HMC emphasizes that disputes involving the IP royalty payment should be addressed through the appropriate legal and administrative processes without inconveniencing workers, students and communities.

Hallmark Mining recognizes and respects the right of individuals, Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples, and other stakeholders to raise legitimate concerns through peaceful and lawful means.

The Company, however, appeals that grievances be pursued through dialogue and established legal and administrative processes without disrupting the lives, education and livelihoods of people who are not parties to the dispute.

In particular, HMC appeals that the approximately 300 students who rely on Company-provided school transportation each day, nearly 2,000 workers and contractors, their families, and surrounding communities should not be made to carry the burden of the continuing access blockades.

Hallmark Mining remains open to constructive dialogue and continues to seek a peaceful and lawful resolution that protects the rights, safety and welfare of everyone concerned.

The Company remains committed to responsible mining, environmental protection, respect for Indigenous Peoples and host communities, compliance with government regulations, and the continued contribution of the Pujada Nickel Project to education, employment, livelihoods and local economic development.

The Pujada Nickel Project operates under Mineral Production Sharing Agreements (MPSAs) approved by the National Government, which authorize the exploration, development and utilization of mineral resources within the approved contract areas, subject to applicable Philippine laws, environmental requirements and regulatory oversight.

Since 21 July 2026, barricades and access restrictions along the Provincial Road leading to and inside the project area have affected the normal movement of employees, contractors, students, operational vehicles, fuel, food, equipment, materials and other essential supplies.

HMC has formally notified the ๐ƒ๐„๐๐‘ ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐†๐ž๐จ๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฎ โ€“ ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐—๐ˆ (๐Œ๐†๐ ๐—๐ˆ) regarding the access obstruction and its effects on the Company's operations.

The impact of the access restrictions has extended beyond the movement of Company personnel and operational supplies. On 16 August 2026, school buses provided by Hallmark serving students from the local communities were not allowed to pass through the barricade.

The incident illustrates the broader effects of the continuing access restrictions.

HMC is concerned that continued restrictions on the movement of vehicles providing essential and other community services may adversely affect students, families and other residents who rely on these services.

With approximately 2,000 workers and contractors directly affected by the disruption, HMC is particularly concerned about the continuing consequences for employees, their families, contractors, service providers and communities whose livelihoods and economic activities are connected with the project.

The continuing blockades have also disrupted the normal movement of fuel, food, equipment, materials and other essential supplies required to sustain the project and communities.

HMC respects the right of individuals, Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples, and other stakeholders to raise legitimate concerns through peaceful and lawful means.

At the same time, the Company respectfully appeals that grievances and concerns be addressed through dialogue and established legal and administrative processes, without restricting lawful access, disrupting essential community services which affects the livelihood of workers, or interfering with lawful project operations.

HMC remains committed to responsible mining, environmental protection, respect for Indigenous Peoples and host communities, compliance with government regulations, and the continued contribution of the Pujada Nickel Project to employment and local economic development.

๐ŸŒฟ Hallmark Mining Corporation Supports BIMP-EAGA Mangrove Project

Hallmark Mining Corporation (HMC) continues to strengthen its commitment to environmental stewardship through its participation in the initial assessment of potential mangrove adoption sites under the BIMP-EAGA Mangrove Project.

On July 8, 2026, HMC joined personnel from DENR XI and CENRO Mati in a coordination meeting and field inspection to identify suitable mangrove areas in the City of Mati, Davao Oriental for future rehabilitation and conservation efforts.

The activity marks the beginning of a collaborative initiative aimed at restoring and protecting mangrove ecosystems that provide vital benefits, including:

๐ŸŒฑ Coastal protection against erosion and storm surges
๐ŸŸ Habitat for marine life and fisheries
๐ŸŒ Carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation
๐Ÿ’ง Improved water quality and biodiversity conservation
๐Ÿค Sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities

At Hallmark Mining Corporation, we believe that protecting our mangroves today means securing healthier coastlines and a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Together, let's restore. Protect. Sustain.
