Cruz Marcelo & Tenefrancia (CMT) has contributed the Philippines Chapter of the Lexology Panoramic 2025 – Mining guide. The chapter was co-authored by Patricia A. O. Bunye, CMT’s Managing Partner and Head of the firm’s Mining & Natural Resources Department, and Rafael Raymundo A. Evangelista, Senior Associate.
The Lexology Panoramic 2025 – Mining guide provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of key legal and regulatory issues affecting the mining industry across multiple jurisdictions. Covering topics such as licensing regimes, environmental compliance, foreign investment restrictions, and indigenous rights, the guide serves as an essential reference for global investors, policy makers, and legal practitioners navigating the complexities of the mining sector.
In the Philippines Chapter, Atty. Bunye and Atty. Evangelista share their deep expertise in the legal and operational frameworks that govern mineral exploration, development, and utilization in the country. Drawing from decades of collective experience advising local and international mining companies, their contribution provides valuable insights into the evolving policy environment and sustainable resource management practices in the Philippines.
Atty. Bunye is widely recognized for her leadership in mining and natural resources law. Atty. Evangelista, meanwhile, is known for his hands-on experience in regulatory compliance, project due diligence, and government relations within the extractive sector.
CMT’s participation in Lexology Panoramic 2025 underscores the firm’s continued commitment to advancing thought leadership and contributing to the global understanding of the Philippine legal landscape, particularly in industries vital to national development.
