My countrymen who lives in Cebu will surely agree and knows what I mean in here. [b]ATLAS MINING (ACMDC-ATLAS CONSOLIDATED MINING and DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION) was cited as one of the largest copper producing mines in the world (1970-1984)[/b The Toledo copper mine commenced production in 1955 and over the next 30 years grew to become the third largest copper producer in the world. In 1935 Atlas is listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and was, until May 1995, listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). Why i wrote here that i lived the American way?..yes i do and i did. I lived there with free house,free electricity,water,car,telephone,fuel/gas-cooking,clubhouses (thu some amenities got to be paid,but still cheap)and a lot more. Not to mention the free hospitals /free everything from meds to doctor's PF. This company is owned by a Filipino- Don Andres Soriano and run by an American/co-stocks share. Until the late Don Andres Soriano 111 died ,in 1982. The Board of Directors has to changed and are run by a Filipino. I am not blaming who's to be blame,i was too young by that time and don't understand much what is going on. But one thing i understand,the Mining is dying within that 2 years period of new directors...and my grandfather who works as a Mining Engineer was forced to resigned and other 90 percent of Atlas employees. This is just a glimpse of how good the life i live under the American government in that place called Toledo(Cebu) And i am sure...Filipino mylotters who lives there can prove what I am saying (anyone who lives there?) Don't accused me of having American dream or whatsoever my countrymen,I am just pointing some truth about the goodness those people has/have done in our country during their stays...not to mention the big loss when the American naval base was removed from Bataan. this is not a referral link http://www.atlasphilippines.com/
