BISHOPS START DRIVE VERSUS AQUINO MINING POLICY

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) – Philippine President Benigno Aquino III is set to announce his administration's new mining policy today but the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has already started a signature campaign calling for a moratorium on its implementation.

 

The CBCP started gathering signatures from its members over the weekend to also push for the urgent passage of an alternative mining law even as the Philippine Palace appealed to all to hold off any comment until the new mining policy is released and digested.

The Palace said President Benigno Aquino¿s newly signed executive order (EO) spelling out his administration's mining policy would be released today.
