The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has urged the local officials to reconstitute their Provincial Mining Regulatory Boards (PMRBs) as soon as possible to attend to all small scale mining related concerns within their level. | |||
Based on the report of MGB region 2, there are provinces which have not organized their PMRBs, while others have not been active since the change of administration. | |||
The board should be reconstituted immediately to ensure the smooth and strict implementation of the mining law and entertain issues and concerns on small scale mining within their area of jurisdiction, Billedo added. | |||
Region 2 Director Mario Ancheta said the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela and Quirino have already reconstituted their board and have been active in studying the issues and concerns related to mining within their area. The province of Nueva Vizcaya has newly created its board while '''Batanes''' has no board yet. | |||
Ancheta said they will try their best to encourage Batanes to create their board as soon as possible and to make the Nueva Vizcaya board activated to resolve urgent issues and controversies on small scale mining. | |||
Director Billedo also encouraged the region to establish mining cooperatives duly registered under the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which will be partners to uphold legal and responsible mining, and to control the proliferation of small scale mining. | |||
