Mining Transparency Index
We asked, how transparent is the mining industry in the Philippines?
While large-scale metallic mines extract billions of pesos worth of minerals every year, most of the communities and provinces hosting mining remain poor. Mining-related disasters have also become all too common from Marcopper to Philex and most-recently the Semirara Panian open pit mine among many cases. In a June 6, 2016 interview with Mines Geosciences Bureau Director Leo Jasareno, the director himself admitted that half of 44 operating metallic mines in the country violates mining laws. Are efforts to monitor extractive activities enough?
