The Philex Padcal mine disaster of 2012 was the largest mining disaster in the country, releasing 20.6 million tons of toxic tailings into water bodies, causing devastating consequences for the local region and Indigenous tribes. The company profited billions from the mine, but left behind the destruction of livelihoods, cultures, and ways of life. This serves as a reminder of the impact of profit-driven mining on the environment and communities, and highlights the company's lack of preventative measures to protect the community.
