The Mines and Geosciences Bureau Regional Office No. XIII supported the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (PH-EITI) 2024 Regional Roadshow on September 25 to 26, 2024 at Almont Inland Resort in Butuan City.

With the theme Bridging Transparency: Empowering Local Voices in Natural Resource Governance, the roadshow aimed to elevate the voices of local communities and intensify awareness of their critical role in promoting sustainable natural resource management.
