The prelate of the Diocese of Marbel has called on South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo Jr. to hold a public dialogue on the Appellate Court decision that alleged it had overturned the province’s open pit mining ban.
DAVAO CITY—
“We respectfully request the governor’s good office to enlighten us on what their plan of action is regarding this decision,” Casicas said. The CA also ruled on August 22 last year that while it validated South Cotabato’s open pit mining ban, it said its application was limited to small-scale mining operations only.
“This is not the end of the line for the open pit mining ban. Certainly the provincial government on behalf of their constituencies has the duty to appeal the CA decision precisely as the decision recognizes their police powers,” said lawyer Rolly Francis C. Peoro, direct legal services coordinator of LRC.
