Looking ahead, sustainable development in the mining

sector is crucial. This involves adopting responsible mining

practices, promoting community engagement and social
development, and strengthening regulatory frameworks to
mitigate environmental and social risks. By balancing economic
growth with environmental and social considerations, the
Philippines can maximize the contribution of its mineral
resources to national development while safeguarding the well-
being of its people and the environment.

The agriculture sector is vital to the

Philippines' economy, contributing to food security,
employment, GDP growth, export earnings, and rural
development. Ensuring the sector's sustainability
and resilience is essential for achieving inclusive and
sustainable economic development in the country.
