but not higher than the standard.
Air quality Is expected to deteriorate
but the company will ensure that is
within the standard
Trees will decrease, but trees that
are capable of earth balling will not
be removed.
Surface water will still be not
potable.
Groundwater will still be potable
without any contamination.
It wont affect the traffic much

Unemployment and
underemployment is expected to
decrease since the company will
prioritize hiring people from the

Conduct earthquake drill regularly

Have an emergency evacuation procedure
Keep hazardous material safe and ensure that
is wont not contaminate flood water.
Obtain the geohazard assessment map from
the government so that building structure on
the places that are prone to sinkhole will be
avoided.
Teach employees to do first aid
Know the contact details of different
government agencies especially AFP and PNP
