they should not export raw ore. it has to be processed in the country. this way it employs the most number of people and generate the most taxes for the country. why export ore when you can export inggots? why export inggots when you can export billets, beams, plates, sheets, wires? why export plates and beams when you can export ships?

sa copper na lang ang tagal na nila nagma-mining. ni hindi man lang nila naisip na magtayo ng plant to produce copper wires! then instead of just exporting copper wires why not export finished automotive and aircraft wiring harnesses!? more value added, more benefits for the country and its people!

kaso quick money lang nasa isip e!

mining should be made wherein the outputs of the natural resource should benefit the country, not the principals.
and it should be properly controlled as such.
