Your task is to write a 500 word script with Alei, Anne, Krista, Emilia, Teya, and Trisha as speakers who will discuss their project. Their project is about helping solve illegal mining in the Philippines for United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 13. Please use the following outline as the basis of the script:

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal to Take: SDG 13 - Climate Action
Primary Issue - Illegal Mining 

MAIN ISSUE:
SAM
The Philippines is the fifth most mineral-rich country in the world. The country is rich in copper, nickel, gold and chromite. This in turn urges large and small mining companies to exploit our resources illegally. It has always been a controversial and alarming issue that the Philippines is prone to illegal mining. It does not only affect the different animal species that lose their natural habitat, but also us humans too. Illegal mining devastates the environment and pollutes the water, air, and soil through the release of toxic chemicals.

KRISTA
We chose illegal mining because it has a negative influence on the environment, economy, and people in our country. Our natural resources have depleted throughout time due to the use of unsustainable practices and products. Utilizing mercury and cyanide for fishing poisoned the country’s bodies of water and its surrounding land. The government also uses illegal mining for its own purposes, and as a result, legal mining workers have begun to lose their jobs. This has had a bad influence on the reputation of our country. Residents of the area have lost their houses, families, and, most importantly, their lives. It is unfair to be paid less than the minimum wage for a work that puts one's life in danger for someone’s interest.

SOLUTION:

ALEI
Our program is about Illegal mining. Given that many large corporations are harming our natural resources, we came up with an idea to inform people about this and urge them to take action to prevent large corporations from engaging in dangerous activities that will cause our natural resources to run out. We want to lobby a bill that will defend our natural resources from capitalists with the aid of Filipino citizens. File a lawsuit against corporations that, like mining, cause enormous harm to society and the environment. With these simple measures, we may regain our natural state and stop the destructive activities that our natural resources are subject to.

TRISHA
In mitigation of the rampant mining issue in the Philippines, our group wishes to take the Sustainable Approach towards resolving it. As for our advocacy in line with this, we plan to partner with organizations and/or groups that could aid us in implementing policies that could help us further our goal of upholding the Sustainable Development Goal No. 13 which is to limit and adapt to climate change by way of lessening the negative impacts and instances of mining. We wish to lobby House Bill No. 259 of the 19th Congress, introduced by [KABATAAN PARTY-LIST] Representative Raoul Danniel A. Manuel, [ACT TEACHERS PARTY-LIST] Representative France L. Castro, and [GABRIELA WOMEN'S PARTY] Representative Arlene D. Brosas, that has yet to be approved by the House of Representatives and go through the rest of the legislative process to become a fully realized law. Our advocacy to hopefully change that and implement a policy that will help mitigate the environmental disasters caused/worsened by mining operations in the country.

Republic Act 7942 of 1995 is the law this house bill wishes to amend or reorient (as the bill calls it). Though it liberalized the domestic mining industry of the Philippines, it allowed for much environmental degradation to occur on top of harming the homes and lands of local indigenous communities as it allowed foreign access to the country's natural resources. The benefits this RA hoped to achieve was criticized for not being enough to weigh out the consequences it inflicted. This new bill we seek to lobby has the goal of implementing a sustainable approach to the Philippine mining industry, and finding balance between agriculture and industrialization.

IMPACT OF PROJECT:
LIA
Enable the Philippines to leap towards a cleaner, more resilient economy by implementing policies essential for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 13 that will encourage individuals to collaborate and join the program, as well as quicken the pace of change to become a roadmap for climate actions that will reduce emissions and build climate resilience.

ANNE
Furthermore, our program aims to collaborate with well-known and influential NGOs, Television and Radio Stations in the Philippines to implement policies our program will produce with regard to the illegal mining activities in the country. This project is one of the essential avenues to make room for new and improved policies to help our environment recover from the damages we inflicted. Our project also intends to become a space where young adults like ourselves can participate. Lastly, we envision a future where young adults like us can voice our ideas, influence the masses, involve others for a better cause, and improve our surroundings for us and future generations.
