The FPIC process, facilitated by the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP), guarantees that local Indigenous Cultural Communities are fully informed and empowered to give or withhold their consent regarding mining and exploration activities within their ancestral domains. The conference also marks a crucial phase in engaging Indigenous Peoples directly affected by the company's operations. It represents a significant step toward ensuring that the rights of Indigenous Peoples are upheld in accordance with the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) of 1997.

The event was attended by Atty. Raul C. Villanueva, President of Philsaga Mining Corporation; Engr. Ferdinand A. Cortes, Vice President; Engr. Alvin B. Castaños, Resident Manager, company representatives; representatives from the NCIP led by Atty. Keith Russel A. Galvez; and members of the Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) from the municipalities of Bunawan and Rosario, Agusan del Sur.
