STAKEHOLDERS and participants to the 1st Visayan conference on mining and ecology held last Saturday called for a moratorium not only in the processing and approval of mining applications but also in all large-scale mining operations.
Regina Lopez, managing director of Bantay Kalikasan, said the moratorium shall be effective until such time an alternative policy on exploration, development and use of mineral resources that is pro-Filipino, pro-people, pro-environment and pro-food has been enacted and developed.
