Why This Matters

Companies disclose what they pay. Government discloses what they receive. An independent administrator checks the match.

Communities near mines have the right to know what revenues are generated and what portion reaches their LGU.

Mining companies must legally fund SDMP and EPEP programs — obligations communities can monitor.
