DOE Investigates Semirara Mine Incident

TAGUIG CITY - The Department of Energy (DOE), yesterday (2 October) launched an investigation on the mudslide incident at Semirara Mining and Power Corporation's Facility in Antique, which resulted to one missing employee.

The DOE, through its Energy Resource Development Bureau (ERDB), immediately deployed a team of geologists and mining engineers to conduct an on-site assessment.

Based on the aerial and ground inspections of the DOE's technical team, the presence of mudflow was confirmed at the location of the incident. 

According to the mining firm's initial report to the Department, regular mining operations were ongoing with heavy machinery, PS27, working on the drainage canal at the Molave Pit of the site's South Wall, when an irregularity was supposedly detected at 1:00 AM. The mudslide occurred five minutes thereafter, at 1:05 AM, hitting the PS27 equipment and its operator.

DOE Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi said, "The DOE is sending its heartfelt prayers to all who were affected by the incident. We are also continuing to pray for the safety of the personnel involved in the search and rescue operations. We are thoroughly investigating the matter to determine the cause of the incident, and ensure that all all safety standards and protocols were strictly upheld. Semirara Mining and Power Corporation has assured us of their full cooperation as we carefully look into this incident."

The DOE will continue to issue updates on the ongoing investigation.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
