- It was a fall-back position after sustainable mining was discredited by environmental groups.
- Responsible mining has no legal definition, no parameters and is not measurable. Best practice is not enough.
- Mining must be done in the context of other Philippine laws. Responsible mining cannot merely be the implementation of the Philippine Mining Act of 1995.
- The current proposed model of responsible mining by the DENR or the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines (CoMP) has never been completed in one single mine in the Philippines.
- It is only possible if given free, prior or informed consent (FPIC) by indigenous peoples or social acceptability by non-indigenous peoples.
