Philippines: DENR Eyes Small-Scale Mining's Rationalization

Such proposal aims assessing small-scale mining practices, noting the country's environment deteriorated and mineral resource depletion became a problem despite existence of regulations and policy guidelines on mining. 
Among small-scale mining practices DENR continues opposing is discharging waste directly into the environment as this contaminates water and other elements. 
One measure DENR-MGB is considering to address such problem is putting up common and regulated processing facilities for small-scale miners.
