In an article of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, “the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (Philippine EITI) in collaboration with the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines and Mines and Geosciences Bureau through the MGB GAD Focal Point System organized a significant forum on March 18, 2025, at the Penthouse Ballroom, Lepanto Building in Makati City, with the theme ‘Mining Her Own Business: Elevating Women’s Voices in Natural Resource Governance.’ By highlighting the vital role that women play in the extractive sectors, the event sought to advance gender inclusion and equitable resource management as crucial elements of the governance of natural resources. As part of the celebrations for Women’s Month, this initiative highlights the growing acknowledgement of women’s contributions to fields that have historically been dominated by males.”
