The GSP CP Programme is an accreditation process under the Standards,

Tamesis. GSP President Francisco Delfin Jr. inducted three new CPs – M
essrs. Enrique Payawal, Ciceron Angeles Jr., and Alvin Matos.Further.
Mr. Joey Nelson Ayson was appointed as Co-Chair to the GSP CP
Secretariat.
The day-long seminar involved talks, pointers and practical lessons by
the Accreditation Committee led by the Chair, Dr. Roger Laraya, and by
Drs. Pablito Ong and Rudy Obial. Also making brief presentations were
Mr. Cinco and UP-NIGS Director Carlo Arcilla. Out of the current 27 CPs
20 attended the event organized and facilitated by Ramon Flores CP

The PMRC is consistent with global standards on mineral industry
disclosure requirements, bringing the Philippines at par with
jurisdictions covered by the JORC (Australia and New Zealand),NI 41-101
(Canada), and SAMREC (South Africa).

form substantiating relevant experience, a rigorous interview by the
Accreditation Committee, including familiarity with details of the PMRC
code and IRR.
