In a press briefing during the 2017 National Conference of the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Friday, Recidoro said the closure and suspension orders were now not enforced because of a provision underneath Administrative Order (AO) 22 or the Prescribing Rules and Regulations Governing Appeals to the Office of the President.
“The suspensions and closures did now not clearly push via due to the fact beneath AO 22, any appeal to the Office of the President robotically remains the enforcement of the decision. So the 23 (mining operations for closure) and 5 (for suspension), they all appealed. The decision has stayed and that they hold to function as regular,” he said.

“But in case you examine those 10 operations, most of them have been already suspended, way before Secretary Lopez got here into office. So, you gained’t be seeing any effect there,” Recidoro stated.
After the first suspension order to the ten mines, the former DENR chief introduced the closure of 23 mining operations and the suspension of every other 5.
By virtue of AO 22, the closure and suspension orders did no longer push through seeing that all corporations appealed to Malacañang Palace.
“Had those closures and suspensions pushed through, they could have impacted 50 percent of our nickel manufacturing for the year,” Recidoro said.
On the cancellation of seventy five mineral manufacturing-sharing agreements (MPSAs) in watersheds national, the Chamber of Mines official noted that these operations have not but started.
“They are just agreements, so no production to be impacted there,” he delivered.
“Overall, I would say that the remaining 10 months, although it’s been very tumultuous to say the least, there’s no real effect but on production.”
He however talked about that the massive impact might likely be on investor self belief.
“Investments rely on the stableness of the coverage. For so long as traders do no longer see that, they may be hesitant to make investments within the Philippines. We’re hoping that shifting ahead, we are able to be sending the proper alerts any more, that we’re a reliable partner and we can be a strong area for high-hazard investments like mining,” he burdened.
