Bantay Kita, a coalition of civil society organizations (CSOs) pushing for transparency and accountability in the extractive industries, supports the passage of an alternative mining law to replace the Philippine Mining Act of 1995. The current mining law has failed to boost economic gains from the extractive industries and to protect communities and the environment by extractive operations in the country.
Nueva Vizcaya – A Federation of Nueva Vizcaya Civil Society Organizations (Fed NV CSOs), led by the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) and supported by Bantay Kita (BK) and British Embassy-Manila, is pushing for the “Nueva Vizcaya Environment Code” or “The Code” to institutionalize transparency and accountability mechanisms in the province.
