Full Circle
Can’t change what’s been done
Can’t change what’s been said
This is me, for what I am.
No longer living in the past, no longer wanting to remind myself of what’s been
No longer dwelling on mistakes, oh so many.
Here’s me. Living in the now. Present, as present, can be.
What was once broken, has now become whole.
Dagger looks, pride that ravages your soul – Love, you’re stuck I can see. You’ve got much to learn.
Discipline will be hard. Tough love will come full circle for you, and when that day comes, remember it is love that clings me to you.
For now, I pray that He leads you through this journey.
For the things we have done or failed to do, love has come full circle for me too.
Duterte a NO-SHOW on Davao Mining Conference, MGB Jacinto explains

Open Pit Mines as Assets for Ecotourism and Waste to Energy (WTE) Projects
During a recent Q&A with the DENR Secretary and his team on 15 June 2017 at Makati-Shangri-la, Marcventures Mining and Development Corporation (MMDC) President Isidro ‘Butch’ C. Alcantara brought into light the potential of rehabilitated open pit mines to become assets for ecotourism and waste to energy projects.
Alcantara added that since mining companies will eventually have to give up their rights on the open pit mines after rehabilitation, there are currently NO CLEAR RULES & GUIDELINES as to the handover of responsibility on the implementation of future projects once these mines have finished operations.
The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) said it is working in close coordination with the Mines & Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and is reviewing these open pit mines to become sanitary landfills after mine rehabilitation.
However, Alcantara was quick to add that “… it’s not just landfill. Some of them are really good prospects for ecotourism and waste to energy (projects)”.
