DENR says mine firms to retain land rights.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
BAGUIO CITY-The Department of Environment and Natural Resources said mining firms, which are ending their operations, still have proprietary rights over the lands that they mined and may use these in new business ventures.
This position, however, affects the efforts of the mining town of Itogon in Benguet to reclaim portions of lands that were patented by the American colonial government in favor of the country's first gold mines.
Itogon officials want to reduce the presence of these mine firms in their land use maps to enable the local government to open up these lands to new industries. Residents also want to return to their former pasturelands.
But all these efforts are restricted by century-old patents or existing mine lease contracts.
Absolute ownership
Isaias Barongan, DENR Cordillera director, said land patents grant their owners absolute ownership over their surface and mineral resources.
