Notice of Decision: POA Case No. CEB-0025 (APOCEMCO vs. Globus Chemical and Cement Corp.)

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Regional Panel of Arbitrators, Regional Office VII, has issued a formal Decision regarding the opposition to the Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) application denominated as APSA000324VII. On November 11, 2025, the Panel officially dismissed the protest filed by Apo Cement Corporation (APOCEMCO) as moot and academic.

This ruling follows a prior Order from October 07, 2013, which denied the application of Globus Chemical and Cement Corporation for failure to comply with DMO No. 2013-01. Because that denial became final and executory on July 15, 2014, the subject area located in the municipalities of Naga and Minglanilla, Cebu, is now deemed open for mining applications pursuant to existing rules and regulations.
