MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday ordered the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to strengthen its regulatory powers on small and large-scale mining to ensure the strict implementation of safety and health programs for workers.

 

“We want to legalize small-scale mining firms because many of them are illegal, so the miners have no protection,” Marcos was quoted as saying. The Office of the Press Secretary said Marcos made the instruction in a meeting with DENR officials.

 

“We want to strengthen the regulatory framework so they can operate legally in order to give our miners assistance and protection for safe working conditions,” he added.
