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.
