                    [Summary] => The Australian government, Malacañang and the private sector defended Australian mining company Lafayette NL yesterday after its closure was recommended by a fact-finding commission led by a Catholic bishop, saying the Philippines needs to continue developing the mining industry or lose opportunities for economic growth.


While the Australian government seeks the reopening of Lafayette as soon as possible, the Palace said there must be "fairness and reason" in dealing with mining investors to avoid loss of confidence from the international investment community.

Rapu-Rapu is in Albay.
