Issue 1

New Year, new perspectives – that’s what we hope to bring with every issue to kick off another annual journey with your Philippine Resources Journal this 2025.

On our cover, we feature one of the underground trucks of Paramina Earth Technologies Inc., the proudly all-Filipino mining and civil construction contractor that approaches its third decade of service to the industry.

But before you dive into the rest of our mining, construction, and industry reports, take a minute to read our esteemed commentators. Atty. Fernando “Ronnie” Penarroyo recounts his own journey in bridging science and law in his piece to spearhead the magazine starting on page 6.

In honor of Women’s Month every March, our very own Atty. Patricia A. O. Bunye – now the Managing Partner of the law firm Cruz Marcelo & Tenefrancia – shares her insights on the role of women in resources development beginning on page 14.

Our friends from Global Ferronickel Holdings Inc. also conclude their commentary on “Mining Decarb: E-mission Impossible?” from page 16 onward.

This leads off the rest of the latest mining, construction, industry and company news and views that you’ve come to expect from us in every issue – and we promise to deliver more in every quarter this year! So, watch out for copies of this mag FREE OF CHARGE at your nearest mining and resources event, or visit us online and on our social media pages to immerse yourself in your Philippine Resources Journal!
