The Philippines Senate President, Francis Escudero, introduced a Bill to ban raw mineral exports from the Philippines, including nickel ore of which the Philippines is the world’s second-largest producer. The ban, effective five years after signing, aims to boost the mining industry by encouraging miners to establish processing plants. The Philippines hopes to replicate Indonesia’s success, increasing mining revenues and reducing reliance on raw exports.
