Improved mining policies sought

The government and stakeholders of the mining industry collectively sought for better policies as uncertainties threaten to stop the country from maximizing the potential of its mineral resources amid rising global demand in the years to come.

At the three-day Mining Philippines 2019 International Conference and Exhibition in Manila, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary for Climate Change Service and Mining Concerns Analiza Rebuelta-Teh said the agency was committed to pursuing the ongoing initiatives to strengthen the regulation of mining practices in the country.
