It's always important to conduct self-audit; this holds true whether personally or for an industry like #ResponsibleMining. Don't wait for others to point out violations. Catch it yourself and correct it.

If we had a more fact-based #ResponsibleMining policy instead of a restrictive one based on years of hysteria and disinformation govt could have sold off idle mines sooner plus gotten additional revenue from the minerals.
There seems to be a turf war on jurisdiction over #OpenPitMining in in S Cotabato. Bottom line, if no Mining Act laws are being violated then #ResponsibleMining should proceed.

VP : Social cost of mining must precede economic gain. The #ResponsibleMining industry concurs and has been doing that for years with their host community assistance. The trick now is getting all to do the same.
#ResponsibleMining is possible. We need the help not of the rabidly anti-mining forces who don't listen to reason but of sane, rational citizens concerned about the well-being of our environment and our people who have all the facts.
