King King"s approval / Pros & Cons /why the delay?
It's just a matter of timing and appeasing the Green Thumb Coalition(s) and the Vatican (see links below) - once we have them on board with the new mining standards were free to move forward IMO:
EO 130 IRR ready for DENR chief signing
“[DOF’s suggestions and comments were] more of polishing the draft to be better understood,” Moncano said. “That is basically it.”
Among the salient features of the draft IRR would be the provision that lifted the nationwide ban on the open-pit mining method."
Final Draft is comp[lete: "Moncano told Business Bulletin that the final draft of the IRR basically has the same provisions as the first draft, but the Department of Finance (DOF) made suggestions on the final crafting of the draft." and this : "The final draft implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of Executive Order (EO) 130 is now awaiting the signature of Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, according to Mines and Geosciences Bureau’s (MGB) top official."
President Duterte no longer needed for approval: "He also noted that the IRR no longer needs to be forwarded to Malacanang for President Duterte’s signature."
Past issues of original draft now resolved: "Under the first draft of the three-page IRR, the government repealed, amended, and modified several department orders of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that were issued in the past."
What we're waiting on (Green Thumb Coalition / Vatican /other Green groups to be appeased) "Green Thumb Coalition convener and Alyansa Tigil Mina (ATM) National Coordinator Jaybee Garganera asked MGB why the engagement with LGUs and communities has been reduced to the drafting of the EIS report.
Leon Dulce, the National Coordinator for Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment, likewise asked MGB how to ensure social acceptability given the said provision.
And the Vatican's concerns: https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2021-05/philippines-bishop-pabillo-calls-for-renewed-mining-ban.html
