Agata management and staff devote a whole day to tree planting and IECs for a healthier environment
Tubay, Agusan del Norte / July 2016 – As part of its progressive rehabilitation program as well as support to the TVIRD philosophy on environmental conservation, Agata Mining Ventures Inc. (AMVI) has dedicated itself towards “greening” its natural environment – which will eventually be better and “greener” than before the company commenced operations in Tubay, Agusan del Norte. This dedication is highlighted more than ever during AMVI’s recent commemoration of Earth Day 2016 during which key officers and staff took a break from their daily operations and came together to herald the importance of properly managing and conserving the country’s natural resources.
AMVI is a joint venture between MRL Nickel Philippines Inc. and TVI Resource Development Philippines Inc. (TVIRD), which leads the development of the Agata Nickel Laterite DSO Project. The company’s 4,995-hectare Mineral Processing Sharing Agreement (MPSA) area spans the municipalities of Tubay, Santiago and Jabonga.
Since its early exploration phase, the company has planted 164,298 seedlings across 148 hectares within AMVI’s MPSA as of March, 2016. This translates into a forest density of 1,110 trees per hectare – which is above the effective forest density of the National Greening Program. Cumulatively, the company has planted a total of 173,598 trees within its MPSA.
Fraternity and commitment
During the opening ceremony at daybreak, employees gathered at the AMVI recreational area to witness the lighting of the torch by Assistant General Manager Anthony B. Quijano who formally kicked-off the Earth Day activities. This was followed by a tree planting activity and a hike towards the company’s water supply site. Participants planted some 300 seedlings along a one-kilometer stretch on the road to the Paiton Water Supply Site.
The participants were then organized into teams for the Eco-Obstacle Race, which took the runners uphill to an activity area where each team underwent obstacles all the way to the finish line. In the afternoon, an impromptu slogan making contest was conducted at the AMVI Mess Hall.
In the evening, employees once again signed pledges to the environment – taking-off from the pledges signed in the previous year and bringing commitments even further with plans to become more responsible in “greening” the environment and creating more awareness on the importance of planting trees.
Finally, to cap the day-long activity – and in true Agata tradition – the yearly search for Mr. and Ms. Earth crowned Safety Officer Charles Dawn Beltran and Admin Staff Ailen Ruaya as the winners. They will continue as the strongest advocates representing the employees of the company towards environmental awareness.
More than expected
“The essence of the Earth Day celebration is remembering the great importance of trees to the natural environment as well as the communities that we serve,” said Environment Manager Jesalyn Guinguing.“
“As employees of a responsible mining company, we should not just be limited to the required standards of the DENR. But rather, we should go beyond because we know the greater benefits of committing to proper resource conservation, managing the environment and the continued observance of proper waste disposal.” she added.
Since it brought operations on-stream in 2014, TVIRD has introduced various environmental measures to the Agata Nickel Project. Civil works and engineering comply with the highest standards in order to prevent soil erosion and possible environmental hazards. Dust and pollution control measures are likewise in place, including the installation of “coconets” around the Agata private port which prevents siltation from spreading into Tubay’s coastal areas.
Also during Earth Day, the company conducts tree planting, clean-up and IEC activities in its areas near the Kalinawan River – its adopted river. This year’s addition of trees brings the cumulative effort to a total of more than 9,000 trees planted within an 11-km stretch under AMVI’s adopted along Kalinawan River.
Responsible management
“I am inspired by how our employees managed to face the challenge amidst their hectic schedules both in the office and in the field. It is amazing how creative, innovative and competitive each team is, particularly in recycling waste material for the Mr. and Ms. Earth costumes,” Quijano expressed during the closing ceremonies.
“The commitment of Agata employees heeds the challenge to continue to be productive, responsible and constantly aware of managing the environment,” he concluded.
Aside from receiving consistent public recognition for its safety and environmental practices, AMVI is currently putting systems in place in order to achieve an ISO Certification 14001 on Environmental Management Standards.

Testosterone is a bulking injectable commonly utilized in newbie cycles to
add vital bulk and mass to users. Due To This Fact, customers sometimes will only make the most of mibolerone for a brief time (i.e.,
a number of days earlier than a special preventing event) and chorus from ingesting alcohol through the cycle.
With trenbolone being 3x more androgenic than testosterone (12), its vital effects on muscular power
aren’t surprising. Some users could discover Dianabol
to be more practical than Anadrol for growing muscular power; nonetheless, the distinction may be
attributed to the person genetically responding higher to Dianabol.

to subside – nonetheless, this is not guaranteed, particularly with
extended and repeated use. This is why such users will goal to use high doses right before
a contest, to achieve maximum muscle definition and dryness and then ideally permit
the body to recover without steroids afterward. This
means a dosage of 5mg day by day is as excessive as many
ladies will need to go – and this completely finds Winstrol dosage is greater than capable of delivering excellent outcomes.
If you have successfully used a 5mg dose while responding well to Winstrol and with out
masculine traits developing, attempting 10mg

This is opposite to different oral steroids, which are C-17 alpha-alkylated and have to be consumed on an empty stomach for full effects.
This is because of most orals being fat-soluble and thus susceptible to decreased absorption by way
of the gastrointestinal tract.
We typically see testosterone causing only mild fluctuations in cholesterol when taken in modest
dosages with little hepatic toxicity. Thus, it
is certainly one of the most cardiovascular-friendly anabolic steroids available.
However, virilization circumstances did sporadically
seem, particularly when female athletes started combining Turinabol with different anabolic steroids,
similar to testosterone and Deca Durabolin. Turinabol
also doesn’t pose any threat when it comes to gynecomastia, making it a very efficient
and coveted anabolic steroid that can be successfully utilized throughout bulking or cutting cycles.
One Other reason why Anavar is arguably one of the best steroid for weight reduction (fat loss)
is due to its security profile. Anavar is a medical therapy for cachexia (2) that has obtained FDA approval and is regularly well-tolerated by
both girls and children.
We find that testosterone generally does not trigger as prominent water retention or bloating as Dianabol
or Anadrol. A first cycle of Dianabol commonly produces 30 lbs
of mass and 70+ lb increases in power in our expertise. Dianabol
continues to be believed to be the staple bulking steroid in skilled bodybuilder stacks right now, five a long time later.
These safe supplements are non-toxic to the kidneys and liver, and they won’t elevate blood strain or cause
other severe issues. TestoMax can be utilized for 2

safe, especially when obtained from the black market and used without medical supervision.
And that’s the primary purpose it has the eye of bodybuilders, athletes,
and those just desirous to shed weight faster. It can additionally be
price noting that average fat loss and muscle gains are potential to realize naturally with efficient coaching and food regimen. Women are restricted in regard to what steroids
they can use, as many compounds trigger virilization unwanted effects.
Nonetheless, we’ve discovered that masculinization doesn’t occur on HGH, because
it doesn’t elevate androgen hormones similar to free testosterone.
We find that if junk meals are consumed throughout a
cycle, sodium levels will rise, inflicting water retention. This can inhibit Anavar’s diuretic results, causing
the muscles to seem more and more easy and cut back
muscle definition, striations, and vascularity.
When women take Anavar at 10 mg per day, we regularly see them expertise muscle features inside the first 10 days.
