The National Democratic Front in North Eastern Mindanao Region has exposed Wednesday the ?alleged "?greediness and shady mining deals?"?of Surigao del Sur First District Congressman governor Prospero Pichay.
To the delight of thousands of indigenous and Moro people environment and natural resources secretary Gina Lopez said that her office will no longer entertain new permits for mining companies in the country.
For Maas, the High Tribunal’s decision was “unfair.” This as the group claimed that Bukidnon’s 2001 anti-aerial spray provincial is similar to that of Davao’s ordinance.
Environment Secretary Gina Lopez has directed all protected area (PA) managers in the country to ensure that local communities are involved in the all aspects of management of conservation areas known for their natural, ecological and cultural values.
Around 12,000 residents here joined the simultaneous National Clean Up Day on September 17, a local official said.
