The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) will hold a public webinar on June 15, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM via Zoom.
This virtual event will feature the PIDS study “Implications of Lifting the Open-Pit Mining Ban in the Philippines” by PIDS consultant Engr. Ludwig H. Pascual, Senior Research Fellow Sonny N. Domingo, and Research Specialist Arvie Joy A. Manejar.
The study investigated the implications of lifting the open-pit mining method, which was done on the premise that revitalizing the mining industry can contribute to the country’s post-pandemic economic growth. It reviewed the rationale behind opposing views on open-pit mining, highlighting ecological concerns, and proposed strategies for sustainability and optimized benefits for the industry.
