The deliberations of the ASDMP were done in cluster with the objective that there will be no duplication of projects/programs/activities (PPAs) and double charging of PPAs to the mining companies with common communities.

MGB Caraga regional director Engr. Alilo C. Ensomo, Jr. has laid emphasis on the SDMP as a sustainable development program intended for the general welfare of mining communities and thereby improves the quality of life of the marginalized and disadvantaged families in the host and neighboring communities.

The SDMP works towards the creation of responsible, self-reliant and resource-based communities capable of developing, implementing and managing community development programs, projects, and activities in a manner consistent with the principle of people empowerment.

The activity has streamlined and enhanced the SDMP through community empowerment by equipping them with attitude, skills and knowledge (ASK) to achieve a virtuous cycle of economic independence.

Appropriate Experts from the national line agencies, academe, religious sector and non-government organizations took part in the comprehensive evaluation and discussion for the enhancement of the ASDMP of Caraga mining companies

After the cluster deliberations, the regional director Engr. Ensomo approved the ASDMP of the following mining companies as endorsed by the appropriate experts: Cagdianao Mining Corporation, Libjo Mining Corp./Westernshore Nickel Corp, Oriental Vision Mining Philippines Corp, Aam-Phil Natural Resources Exploration & Dev’t Corp, Wellex Mining Corp.
