PJMC said that locals in the area reported that the Chinese vessel “continue to enter and exit” SMPC to ship materials and goods for coal mining thus violating the Bayanihan We Heal as One Act’s enforcement of physical distancing in the mining workplace.“It has been reported by mine workers and locals that foreign vessels from China continue to enter and exit Semirara for coal mining. The report confirms the complaints of Rep.
PMCJ asserted that the shipment of materials and goods for mining by a foreign vessel for exportation is a non-essential service in the time of COVID-19. Allowing foreign vessels during the period of a nationwide lockdown defeats the purpose of the Bayanihan Act, it also said.
