Sierra Madre Quarrying Sparks Angono Outrage

Your natural defense against typhoons is being blown up for profit. Residents in Angono

are furious because a massive quarrying site is literally erasing their mountains. We are talking about

the Sierra Madre here. For ten years, locals have dealt with deafening explosions

that crack their house walls and thick dust that is actually shutting down schools.

It is not just annoying, it is dangerous. The river is choked with debris, causing floods every

time it rains. Even the local government wants it gone, but national permits keep the machines

running. They call it development, but the locals call it a tragedy waiting to happen.
