                    [Summary] => Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (Lakas, Surigao del Norte) urged the government yesterday to stop the "economic Talibans" from killing local industries.


By economic Talibans, Barbers said he meant smugglers and importers who are dumping cheap products here and whose latest victim is the Surigao-based Picop Resources, once Southeast Asia’s biggest paper mill.


Picop announced on Monday that it would shut down operations by the end of this month, joining a list of industrial firms in Mindanao which have closed shop.
