Free Prior and Informed Consent in the Philippines
Regulations and Realities
By OXFAM

Oxfam has just completed a policy briefing paper called “Free Prior Informed Consent in the Philippines: Regulations and Realities” which describes the key legal protections for FPIC in the Philippines as well as past obstacles to effective implementation. In addition, the policy note highlights features of implementing rules adopted by the government in 2012 to promote more effective future implementation of FPIC. The paper is available at: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/publications/free-prior-and-informed-consent-in-the-philippines.

The paper was written by Cielo Magno, National Coordinator of Bantay Kita (the “Publish What You Pay” affiliated coalition in the Philippines), and Dante B. Gatmaytan, Associate Professor at the University of the Philippines College of Law.
