In October 2024, the planetGOLD Philippines Project, successfully conducted a series of Provincial/City Mining Regulatory Board (P/CMRB) Workshops across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to strengthen support for the formalization of the ASGM sector. These sessions provided Local Government Units and Mines Geosciences Bureau Regional Offices with essential knowledge on Minahang Bayan declaration, small-scale mining registration and licensing, and policy implementation under DAO 2022-03. Through expert-led discussions and knowledge-sharing, the workshop reinforced the role of local stakeholders in ensuring responsible ASGM practices.
