Shooting mars Lent in mining village [Philippines]

Violence marred the observance of Lent in remote Didipio village in Kasibu town after the shooting of a resident allegedly by a security guard of a foreign mining company as it tried to resume demolition activities... Supt. Domingo Lucas, acting provincial police director, said Emilio Pumihic was shot and wounded at around 11 a.m. by Whitney Dongiahon, a security guard for the proposed mining area of Australian firm OceanaGold Philippines... Ramoncito Gozar, OceanaGold’s vice president for communications and external affairs,...said the shooting occurred only after Pumihic, whom he described as an illegal small scale miner, “overreacted” to the activities of the demolition team members who “were peacefully doing their [job].”... Police officials, however, found Gozar’s version “incredible.”
