The Philippines is positioned to become a significant contributor to the global electric vehicle supply chain by leveraging its vast, untapped copper reserves. As international demand for copper increases to support EV battery production and renewable energy infrastructure, the country’s mineral wealth presents a substantial economic opportunity. By revitalizing its mining sector and attracting foreign investment, the Philippines aims to transition from a raw material exporter to a key participant in high-value manufacturing for the global green energy transition.
- The Philippines possesses substantial copper deposits that remain largely underdeveloped despite high global demand.
- Copper is a critical component for the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy technologies.
- The country aims to move up the value chain by processing raw minerals domestically rather than only exporting ore.
- Developing the mining sector is expected to attract significant foreign investment and create new industrial employment opportunities.
- Consistent government policies and sustainable mining practices are identified as essential factors for long-term industry growth.

Oppose mining in Mindanao. Only the rich Oligarch and foreign companies will gain from this. The nearby villages, towns will surely suffer from environmental impact brought by mining. Don't be sold by those sweet promises.
🙏
Do not let Trump know this.
Graphene is Better than copper
Illegal mining driven by unscrupulous Chinese businessmen have looted our reserves of magnetite ore and magnetite sand for decades!! Used in high strength magnets.
I will only trust a super majority Filipino owned company by only the highest reputable companies like Ayala, Ortigas, San Miguel, Aboitiz, something like that — and require full transparency as to how much is being mined, how much is the value, how much went to the company, how much went to the government, and how much to the indigenous community.
As to the person who fights mining without condition, that's unrealistic. Progress and development is needed to bring your communities out of poverty but at the same time the highest lost capable companies should do this with those with access to technology and skills capable to do this with the standards Americans, Japanese, and Europeans use.
Start the mining ⛏️ now before the population increase to a 1 million people.
Watch out here the USA . They're going to steal it. And corrupt the government and people even more. I see it here in the USA and around the world..

NO to temporary greed. YES to generations of endless sustainable food and healthy ecosystem.
Last 2007, I took part in a ANTI MINING PEACE RALLY IN TAMPAKAN, SOUTH COTABATO through the initiative of the DIOCESE OF MARBEL AND THE STUDENTS OF NOTRE DAME OF MARBEL UNIVERSITY.

Large-scale open-pit mining is much safer and less labor-intensive than small-scale tunnel mining where it requires employing children to extract gold, silver, and copper deposits.
minahin na yan.. sa panahon ngayon kaylangan na talaga umangat ng ekonomiya, sana kung NPA at abusayaf lng ang problema ng pinas. pero ngayon nandyan na ang china, kung ayaw nyong pakinabangan ang yaman ng pinas iba ang aani nyan! dpat magkaroon na tayo ng kakayahan depensahan ang sarili natin kaya dpat umangat na tayo. wag na kayong komontra sa progreso. fun facts mas madami pang puno ngayon kumpara sa nkalipaa na 35years ago, dahil yan sa co2, pagkain ng mga puno ang co2.
