Grace Poe bats for responsible, transparent mining

SENATOR Grace Poe-Llamanzares on Tuesday urged the country’s mining lobby to continue pushing for environmentally and socially responsible mineral development and to ensure that gains from finite resources translate into sustainable wealth that will benefit future generations.

In her speech during the Mining Philippines 2014 Conference and Exhibition, Poe said that the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (COMP) should continue its efforts to improve and enhance the quality of life of the people through “inclusive growth.”
