I read that the group drafting the EO has given the Anti-mining groups more time in stakeholder consultation than the mining industry itself. I find that a bid odd considering the EO will be governing the mining Industry, they've side should be heard too.
What should also be considered is the performance of the government in terms of environmental protection. Will it be able to regulate the mining industry effectively, especially given news like,

Watch how he gives a non-answer without necessarily saying "Let me get back to you on that..."
Its out na...
the government policy statement presented to stakeholders highlighted a six-point agenda crafted to guide Malacañang’s mining policy:
– Ensure responsible mining’s contribution to the country’s sustainable development, i.e., economic and social growth and environmental protection.
– Adopt international best practices to promote good governance integrity in the sector.
– Ensure the protection of the environment by adopting technically and scientifically sound and generally accepted methods, as well as indigenous best practices.
– Enforce the primacy of national laws over local issuances to harmonize laws, policies, and regulation.
– Ensure a fair, adequate and equitably shared economic benefit for the country and the people.
– Deliver efficient and effective management of the mining sector.
What do you think? good or bad for the country? the industry?

CoMP turns down invite to Ateneo mining dialog
Anybody from Ateneo? Im surprised the University has taken such a strong stance against Mining. Theyve also been working closely with a lot of these bayanmuna and akbayan groups on the issue, something id expect of UP, but not the jesuits. I wonder why that is when they have opposite positions on the RH bill.
Nakakahiya noh! Naturingan pa naman na one of the prestigious universities in the Philippines tapos ganun. What good is a dialogue kung wala rin naman talagang patutunguhan. Tapos audience naman known na anti mining na. Useless din.
Para sa kin, it's just irrational to ban mining in the country. For one, pano nalang mga local and foreign investments in mining? Pano pa future investments. Kung a pause nga in accepting permits has affected the industry sa number of investments, pano pa kaya ang pag-ban nito.
The Chinese with their practical and amoral approach are completely robbing Filipinos blind of their natural resources thanks to the local politicians and dummies.
You got to give it to Chinese for knowing how to play around corrupt politicians and greedy locals.
