DENR Act Now!
Implement the Supreme Court Decision
(Against Mining Act of 1995

The Supreme Court’s decision declaring as unconstitutional major provisions of the Mining Act of 1995 (R.A. 7942) on January 29, 2004 already puts in question the constitutionality of the controversial law in its entirety.
