| Gov’t to seek more mining investments |
| MANILA, Philippines — Mining officials led by Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza will attend this year’s Asia Mining Congress in Singapore to promote mining opportunities in the Philippines. Mines and Geosciences Bureau chief Horace Ramos said Philippine delegates to the mining congress, which will be held in the last week of March, would drum up investor interest in the local mining industry. “We are hoping to attract more foreign investors,” Ramos said. “The secretary will keynote the government forum during the congress and I will present the status and trends in our mining industry.” Even as existing foreign investors have committed to stay in the Philippines, he said Atienza wanted to continue networking with as many new investors as possible. Ramos said the secretary might also meet with present investors to get updates on their activities in the Philippines. |
