stand that open-pit mining operations in South Cotabato pose a great risk to the integrity of the environment of our province and its neighbors. At stake are the health and livelihoods of many,” Casicas said in a statement.

“We trust that the governor shall exert his best efforts to defend the rights of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology. It is of vital importance that the true meaning and heart of the ordinance is not in any way compromised or defeated,” the prelate added.

Casicas stressed that openpit mining, especially large-scale operations, stands to encroach on closed and open canopy forests, some of which are considered integral woodlands.

Certainly, large-scale open pit mining operations will erase vast areas of agricultural lands, destroy the remaining watershed, and will cause massive and destructive flooding in Mindanao, he said.

With its 30 parishes, the clergy and the laypeople, Casicas urged Tamayo to join them in “the moral imperative to act together decisively in order to save our common home.”

Speaking on local radio early this week, Tamayo confirmed the CA ruling.

“It did not invalidate the openpit mining ban in South Cotabato but limited its scope to small-scale mining operations,” he said in the vernacular.

Based on the same CA decision, he added that large-scale open-pit mining operations are vested in the national government under Republic Act 7942 or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995.

According to the governor, “the provincial government could no longer question RA 7942 before the SC because the High Tribunal has already affirmed its validity.”

In June 2022, Tamayo vetoed the lifting of the ban on open-pit mining, which was passed by the previous composition of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan that caused an outrage and triggered peaceful march protests in the streets of this city.

parties to elevate the matter to the proper court.

It can be recalled that Ocampo also expressed alarm on the reported cutting of trees in Sitio Kibalang, Barangay Marilog Proper, Marilog District to make way for the construction of a new school building.

Ocampo said this matter will still go through the committee hearing.

In 2021, the 19th City Council passed Ordinance No. 0784-21 series of 2021 also known as “An ordinance protecting heritage trees and all other trees in the city of Davao and for other purposes.”

“Hopefully we can start within the year. The sooner that the Local Government of Mati produce the two requirements which are the land and the list of possible beneficiaries, the sooner we can start the program,” Magno said. The 4PH program is one of the priority programs of President Ferdinand “Bong-Bong” Marcos, Jr. that envisions to construct 6.15 million housing units for the Filipino people in the span of 6 years.
