The First PH-EITI Country report has extensively discussed the legal and institutional framework for the extractive industries, the laws governing State participation in the extractive sector, and the applicable environmental and social standards, including the rights of indigenous peoples. Updates have also been provided in succeeding reports. This Ninth PH-EIT| Country Report brings the information up-to-date to 2021.

It is worth noting that the legal framework governing the Philippine extractive industries has remained mostly unchanged since 2012. All significant legislation and fiscal regulations for the extractive industries and the specific country reports in which the relevant issuances were extensively covered can be found in Annexes I-1A and I-1B.
