Digging deeper
The Philippine Star|October 29, 2024
The Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (COMP), which I had the honor of chairing for the past three years, recently held a one-day forum dubbed "Digging Deeper: A Mining Philippines Policy Forum" that sought to bring together the nation's top industry leaders, investors, analysts and professionals into a single venue to learn, discuss, and collaborate on critical industry issues, all aimed at shaping a dynamic and sustainable mining industry in the Philippines.

Digging deeper

Originally launched in 2019, the forum was created to foster meaningful discussions that connect industry expertise with actionable, real-world solutions for the mining industry.

This year, the forum featured in-depth analysis of key policy frameworks, including the proposed National Policy Framework on Critical Minerals and the Enhancing the Mining Fiscal Regime bill currently pending in the Senate. There were also sessions dedicated to improving the operational efficiency of large-scale metallic mines and tackling ESG challenges through the Chamber's Toward Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative.

As I mentioned in my welcome address at the start of the forum, held at the grand, spanking new ballroom of The Westin Manila, we dig deeper here precisely to further explore the complexities of those issues and to learn the developments. We dig deeper to extract agreements, solutions, and actionable steps from our policy makers and our industry movers and shakers. We dig deeper to find ways that would enable us to tap the full potential of our mineral-rich nation for the benefit of our country and people.
