Palawan’s provincial government just passed a landmark 50-year moratorium on endorsing new mining projects. In this episode, environmental lawyer Grizelda Mayo Anda shares how decades of activism, legal advocacy, and grassroots organizing led to this rare environmental win. She also explains what the ordinance covers and what’s still at stake.

This episode was produced by Bella Perez-Rubio and engineered by Anthony Tobias/Jyn Garcia. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
