EO 130 which was signed on 14 April 2021 lifted a 9-year ban on new mining agreements. The economic managers say that Philippine mineral resources have been vastly untapped and could bring significant benefits to the economy. The DENR expects to generate some Php21 billion from two phases of 100 new mining projects.
Technology has revolutionized the legal industry with its advancement. So, for progress, growth, and success in the future, every lawyer should prepare themselves and learn to adopt technology and become future-ready. If you are going to study law after you obtain your geology degree, the way to go is to specialize in a technology- or science-related field so that you can maximize your potential.

For many months, “Crash Landing On You” continues to be on Netflix’s Top 10 most watched list in the Philippines. Time Magazine also named it as one of the best K-dramas on Netflix. Though I was not a “virgin” in K-drama-bingeing since I first followed the period drama, “Jewel in the Palace” decades ago, I was not really into rom-coms and chick flicks. What piqued my interest was the engaging storyline set in the backdrop of the continuing military if not political conflict in the Korean peninsula. “Crash Landing On You” was inspired by an actual event in 2008 when a South Korean actress on a boat trip with her three friends, accidentally strayed into disputed waters between North and South Korea after getting lost in a fog.
Fresh out of law graduate school in 2002, I was still feeling my way into the professional mainstream. With so much time in my hands and still deciding on how I would restart my career, I thought that perhaps a part-time lecturing job will suit me at that time. It was an avenue for me to reintegrate myself to the legal profession after being out of the country for almost two years. The new millennium was just starting and it was a time for digital transition for a lot of profession. Legal was one of those rapidly adapting to the change.
My love affair with bossa nova actually blossomed when I studied in Europe in 1988. In December of that year, alone and far from family to spend Christmas with, my friends and I decided to spend our winter school break in London. While promenading along Oxford Street, I went inside Virgin Record Shop where I was awed by the wide array of records the likes of which I have not seen before. I bought a collection of vintage but digitally re-mastered bossa nova classics. Reading through the CD jacket, I marveled at how the origins of the music were intertwined with the political and cultural history of Brazil. On that day, I was introduced to the music of composer and arranger Antônio Carlos Jobim, guitarist João Gilberto, poet and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes, saxophonist Stan Getz, guitarist Luis Bonfá, and chanteuse Elis Regina.
COVID-19 and its impact on the world provided a harsh lesson and wake-up call for all of us. People lost their jobs, businesses and entire fortunes on account of a virus whose origins remain a mystery. We worked from home, home schooled our kids, stayed away from senior members of our families, canceled special celebrations and well-planned vacations, and restricted our mobilities because we were afraid to catch and spread the virus. But the one thing that we will never forget is loved ones and friends losing their battle to this horrible illness.
Infrastructure Investments to Return Philippine Economy to GrowthFernando Penarroyo
The Duterte administration is banking on its infrastructure development program to be the main driver of the country’s economic recovery as the Philippines is currently in economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Philippines has suffered from one of the region's worst COVID outbreaks and among the top 25 countries with infections and fatalities, and with the longest government-imposed lockdown. To the credit of the government, a number of infrastructure projects has seen completion despite the quarantine measures in the past months.
Digital technology is becoming a defining factor in the future of mining operations. Robotics and automation through drones, autonomous vehicles and remote-controlled operational systems will be rolled out more widely to enhance exploration efforts production. Cloud computing, information sharing and big data enable work to be performed remotely and more flexibly taking employees away from hazardous on-site events and improving health and safety conditions.
Last 05 April 2020, former Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Fulgencio “Jun” Factoran, Jr. died from a lingering illness at the age of 76. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Humanities (cum laude) and Bachelor of Laws from the University of the Philippines (valedictorian, 1967), and his Master of Laws degree from the Harvard Law School. He was a bar topnotcher and a member of the Sigma Rho fraternity, the same UP Law-based fraternity I belong to.
The Philippines is currently facing one of the greatest challenges to its economy with the implementation of containment measures brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed by President Duterte was extended to May 15 on areas deemed still at high risk that includes the National Capital Region and nearby provinces in central and southern Luzon, considered the major business hubs of the country. There is no definite date in sight yet for the lifting of the lockdown and opening up the economy, as the government focuses on containing the virus and bringing the infection rate to lower levels. Premature lifting of the lockdown may have dire consequences as a second wave of infections could lead to a bigger toll on the economy.

24. Technical barriers
• While some high temperature hydrothermal are
competitive, many geothermal technologies are
more expensive than fossil plants (but may be less
expensive than other RE sources like solar and
wind)
• Large differences and cost ranges per technology
make it difficult for project finance
• New technologies have yet to be developed and
tested commercially
• According to the International Energy Agency,
EGS will only become commercially available
after 2030
25. Risk Factors
• Foreign equity ownership
• Availability of geo-scientific information and
professionals
• Area status and clearance, conflict with other
land use, surface/land ownership
• Procedural efficiency and clarity between DOE
and DENR
• Judicial intervention and opposition by NGOs
– Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases
26. Market facilitation and transformation
• Development of more competitive drilling
technology
• Introduction of guarantee schemes
• Development of publicly available database
protocols and tools for geothermal resource
assessments
27. Development of guidelines for the
following mechanisms
•Renewable Portfolio Standard
•Inclusion of the following technology for Feed-in
Tariff Rates
• Acid well utilization
• Enhanced geothermal systems
• Low enthalpy
•RE Financial Program – geologic risk insurance,
facilitate access to risk capital
28. Conclusion
• Regulatory framework should be long term,
transparent, predictable and independently
administered
• As long as costs are higher than fossil fuel plants,
economic and financial incentives are
appropriate
• Public-private partnerships must foster private
sector investments in new technologies
