Profit from mining goes back to the place it comes from. It supports schools, training, wellness and farming in our Minahang Bayan and the villages around it.
Our programs
Ananda Marga Special Academic Institution (AMSAI) is a neo-humanist school on 5 hectares of land donated by the Inocalla family. Run by yogic nuns in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd) for more than 15 years, it teaches children of mining families and indigenous communities, with Arnis and kids camps alongside lessons.
Training in Arnis, the Filipino martial art, and mixed martial arts, building discipline, respect and confidence in young people.
Yoga, breathing and wellness sessions for miners, families and residents.
The Responsible Farmers and Fishermen Cooperative runs Greengold organic coconut farming and the Sis Betty Learning Center, and is rehabilitating the Inocalla coconut plantation.
Programmes
Supporting schools for indigenous communities and the children of mining families.
A team for sustainable farming, waste management and protecting natural habitats.
Farmland that gives families food and income beyond mining.
Mining planned with the land in mind, and partnership with planetGOLD, led by the United Nations Environment Programme.
Aeta community
In Tumbaga, San Rafael, Jose Panganiban, on Inocalla land where mining and farming meet, lives a community of Aeta, one of the first peoples of the Philippines.
Together with the Inocalla family, the association supports education for the community’s children and livelihood for its families, alongside the miners and farmers who share the land.
Greengold
Since April 2026, artisanal miners have struck several good veins in Shaft 4, and more miners want to work on Inocalla land. As mining grew, farmers stopped planting and many trees were cut for timber.
The Inocalla family responded by reviving the Capacuan Minahang Bayan, so that mining takes place within a legal framework. They also invited the PROUT/PROSAC farmers’ cooperative, headed by Dr. Rafael Barroso of the P. R. Sarkar Institute at UP Los Baños.
Together they formed the Responsible Farmers and Fishermen Cooperative (Remffoco), with the mandate to rehabilitate the Inocalla coconut plantation. Its Greengold program covers organic coconut farming and the Sis Betty Learning Center.
Discipline
A gold strike can bring sudden money, and with it the negative behaviour that miners call “gold fever”. The Capacuan Minahang Bayan answers this with discipline of body and mind.
Through Arnis Maharlika, the Warriors MMA Academy and Mindbodyheart Wellness, the association promotes fitness, martial arts, Arnis, yoga and meditation for its miners, so that they keep their physical, mental and spiritual discipline.
Wellness retreats
Half an hour from the Inocalla farm lies Gumaus Beach in Paracale, a white-sand beach on about 3.5 hectares owned by Dr. Marilou Inocalla and her daughter Radha Inocalla.
The family welcomes the association’s associates, partners, families and friends to visit and retreat there, close to the wellness, Arnis and yoga programs on the farm.
Already done
Buying tailings from local miners gives families extra income from material they already have.
A new “Cyclone” system cleans the tailings pond, recovers leftover gold and turns the waste into bricks and concrete.
Sports and physical fitness activities for young people.
Maintenance of barangay roads used by residents and miners.
Health outreach programs for local families.
Tree planting on land around the mining area.
Donated land for a school, chapel, health centre, basketball court and barangay hall.
Projects carried out by the Inocalla family and Paracale Gold Corp., as listed in the September 2026 report.
Livelihood
Gold mining is the main source of income for many families in Paracale and Jose Panganiban. Our aim is to make that income safer and more stable.
This includes work in mining and in the plant, skills training, cooperative farming, and buying from local suppliers where we can.
The long-term plan combines mining with farming on the same land. Paracale Gold Corp. plans an integrated coconut farm and processing facility producing virgin coconut oil, copra and coir, alongside responsible underground mining. This links with the Greengold farming work of the Remffoco cooperative.
Sustainability
We aim to minimise our environmental footprint, manage waste with long-term ecological balance in mind, and support the well-being of the local community through training, employment and infrastructure.
