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.

  • The 17Th Congress: an Overview
    CongressWatch Report No. 191 Report No. 191 13 June 2016 The 17th Congress: An overview The 2016 Philippine Election proved to be successful in terms of voter turnout, with over 44.3 million Filipinos (84% of total registered voters) participating, resulting to a substantially higher turnout rate than those of previous election years. And with the conclusion of the canvassing of votes by the COMELEC and the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), we now have an overview of the incoming 17th Congress. The Senate Of the 24 senators serving in the 17th Congress for the next three years, six are from the Liberal Party (LP), five are Independent, four are from the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), three each from both the Nacionalista Party (NP) and the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), and one each from Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP), PDP-Laban, and Akbayan. Out of the 12 incoming senators in 2016, only three are incumbents and majority (9 out of 12) are first-term senators, though four of them have already served previously in the Senate. Of the remaining 12 who started their terms in 2013, five will be finishing their second terms by 2019. From the 16th Congress, six senators are ending their second terms; out of the six, one will be serving in a lower position (Sen. Pia Cayetano won as the Representative of the 2nd District of Taguig), two others ran for higher and lower offices but lost, while the remaining three opted not to seek any other elective position. Shortly after the results of the elections were released to the public, Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas- CMD), NP, and NPC signed a coalition agreement with PDP-Laban, incoming President Rodrigo Duterte’s political party, thereby, comprising the presumptive majority bloc in the Senate.

  • Header & SWEA Speech for Directory 2021
    2021 Philippine Government Directory of Agencies and Ocials Republic of the Philippines Department of Budget and Management Note from the Publisher: The contents of this publication, including the names and positions of the government officials, and contact details, are based on data available as of October 30, 2020 as validated by the agencies, except when updated before the actual publication date. Message Never before has transparency in governance been more critical than it is today, as our way of life, our society, and even how our government operates have been altered by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In these days of uncertainty, how the government communicates information to address the concerns of the citizenry is crucial in building trust in its policies and responses to the global health crisis. This present reality underscores more than ever why the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) continues to publish the Philippine Government Directory of Agencies and Officials. For over three decades, the Directory has served as the people’s gateway to government information and services—from the National, Legislative, and Judicial branches to the local government units and international organizations. With the prevailing health and safety protocols, particularly the observance of physical distancing, the Directory allows for easy, contactless transactions as it provides consolidated and up-to-date contact details of all agencies and officials of the government. An electronic copy of the Directory is available on the DBM website so that the people have freer access to it. We hope that our readers and stakeholders find this latest issue of the Directory to be truly an informative and reliable resource, especially in these trying times.
