The SOLIDARITY RING was the biggest ring here in the Philippines. This is found in the province of Compostela Valley, my hometown. This was made by the miners, natives and the different municipalities of COMVAL.
The solidarity ring was made because of the unity of the people in Compostela Valley. This symbolizes the richness of natural resources of the place and the historical unity of the people of Compostela Valley, its wealth of natural resources, its rich cultural heritage, and the dreams and aspirations of its people for a better life.
The ring was first seen during the first celebration of the BULAWAN FESTIVAL on March 3-8, 2008. This ring was also presented in Davao City during KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL.
It is an 18-carat ringand a two-toned. Its inside diameter is 5 inches and the outside is 6 inches. It cotains 1.18 kg. of shining gold and 308 grams of 99.9% of pure silver. It wieghs 1.488 kg and with a price of P 1.5 million.
In its 1998 report, the Bureau of Mines and Geo-Sciences, Minerals News Service in Region XI, declared that Compostela Valley has gold deposits of 36, 328,699 metric tons of gold, one of the biggest in the world.
And I am very proud that the SOLIDARITY RING will be found in my hometown.
