Toledo, chairman of the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines , said in a Viber message.

The Philippine Nickel Industry Association said the industry is pushing for the government to fast-track the approval of mining permits by establishing a “one-stop shop” application process.About 470 applications are currently awaiting approval.
