Discussion Paper on Responsible Mining

Consolidated notes from the 1st and 2nd Roundtable Discussions on Responsible Mining held in Astoria Plaza Hotel, Ortigas last November 27, 2018 and December 11, 2018.

Central to this discussion paper is the question, “What is responsible mining?” For several years since the passage of Republic Act 7076, or the People’s Small- scale Mining Act of 1991, and Republic Act 7942, or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995, their policy vision of improving the quality of life of the Filipinos through wealth creation and its equitable distribution remain to be elusive. Most of the communities playing host to these mining operations are yet to lift themselves out of poverty and conflict. Allegedly, fingers point to the irresponsible practices surrounding the extractive industry, both large scale and small scale.
