    19 APRIL 2021, MONDAY ✓ Headline STRATEGIC April 19, 2021 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 2 Opinion Page Feature Article 100 New Mining Deals Could Net P21B—MGB BYJONATHAN L. MAYUGA APRIL 19, 2021 3 MINUTE READ WITH the lifting of the moratorium on new mining projects following the signing of EO 130 by President Duterte, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is looking at granting new mining contracts that could generate additional revenues and boost the economy within the next five years. Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director Wilfredo G. Moncano said at least 100 new mining projects currently in the pipeline can generate additional revenue of P20 billion in the form of excise tax and another P1 billion in annual revenue in the form of royalty tax. These new mining projects can generate at least 42,000 new jobs in the mining sector which currently employs around 230,000 persons. While the new mining projects can generate 42,000 new jobs, the employment opportunity from the multiplier effect of 4 persons for every 1 person benefiting direct employment will give mining hosts the much-needed economic boost, officials noted. “In the memo that we submitted to the office of the President, with the lifting of Section 4 of E.O. 79, we estimate additional taxes of P20 billion and royalty of about P1 billion. Plus there will be about an additional P58 billion worth of export because most of the minerals are exported. We estimate 42,000 new employment,” Moncano said in a radio interview. Under the Phase 1 Priority Mining Projects, there are at least 35 mining projects that are a step or two steps away from gaining their Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA), he added.

Araja Amid the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu on Tuesday vowed to pursue the government’s fight against illegal wildlife trade and uphold the country's ecological integrity. “We will not be complacent even in today’s worst global humanitarian crisis. We assure the public that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources would not cease in going after illegal wildlife trade criminals, especially those who have seized the opportunity to take advantage of the crisis through wildlife trafficking,” Cimatu said. He lauded their wildlife enforcers for their continued coordination with all of their partner agencies, particularly with the Bureau of Customs and the National Bureau of Investigation, to fight illegal wildlife trade. “Just like the other front liners in health, food security, social service, military and economic government institutions, our indefatigable wildlife enforcers have committed to continue with their public service and duty to protect our country’s natural resources. For the same sacrifices they make, we ought to give them their much-deserved salute,” Cimatu said.

  • Peace Accord May Bring Investment
    54 BUSINESSBUBUSINESSSINESS Peace accord may bring investment With the signing of the framework for a peace agreement, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), what is now called the Bangsamoro area, may eventually see peace restored. That, if it is, should lead to a substantial growth in investment, much of it from other Muslim countries. Agribusivness and infrastructure are expected to lead in that investment. This would pave the way for long-awaited progress in the region, but still many things need to be done as the agreement will take some years to reach a conclusive ending. ith the signing of the framework for a peace agreement, the Bangsamoro area may see peace restored but Wrealistically not for some time yet as some factions within the Muslim community remain unconvinced. Achieving tranquility in the region will require the disarming and surrendering of 12,000 MILF rebels to the government, which is one of the mandates of the framework. This will not come easily. The considerable autonomy given by the preliminary framework, which is what the Muslim leaders had been longing for for years, strengthens the possibility of the restoration of peace in the region. The Aquino administration is optimistic that the new peace accord will not be a failed experiment similar as the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) as violence, corruption, and poverty, among others, have not been curtailed. In order to achieve peace in the region, the signing of the into banana, pineapple, corn, and palm oil plantations.
