With the presentation of the 5-Year SDMP, the barangay governments of Ampucao, Camp 3, Dalupirip, Camp 1 and Ansagan hope that the 5th 5-Year SDMP should not be the last with PMC’s declaration that their mine life extended to 2027 will commence the implementation of their Final Mine Rehabilitation and Decommissioning Plan.   However, with the company’s continuous exploration for mineable orebodies, economic activities in the area thru employment of locals and SDMP implementation will help improve the quality of life in the communities.

The invited guests/officials from the province of Benguet, represented by vice governor Erickson Felipe, the municipalities of Itogon represented by the chief of staff Gerardo Cornel and Tuba represented by councilor Atty. Nestor Baban, and the MGB-CAR regional director Fay W. Apil served as witnesses to the 5-Year SDMP MOA signing. 

The LGU officials expressed their appreciation and gratitude to the PMC which shares 75% of the 1.5% from its Annual Operating Cost to fund the development of the host and neighboring communities of its mining operations. By Amy N. Ramos
