“Since Cimatu took over the DENR, the department has been reviewing Lopez's controversial order that led to the closure or suspension of mining operations in the country.
Cimatu suspended Lopez's administrative orderwhich required the environment chief's approval of environmental compliance certificates (ECCs) of projects critical to the environment.
Under Cimatu, the DENR's Mines and Geosciences Bureau has proposed to lift the ban on open-pit mining, another policy of his predecessor. Lopez had appealed to Duterte not to allow the lifting of the ban, and while the President said he agreed with her, he was also open to giving miners "elbow room" to adjust for now.”
