    The most enduring measure of how individuals make personal decisions affecting their health and safety is the compensating wage differential for job safety risk revealed in the labor market via hedonic equilibrium outcomes. The decisions in turn reveal the value of a statistical life (VSL), the value of a statistical injury (VSI), and the value of a statistical life year (VSLY), which have both mortality and morbidity aspects that we describe and apply here. All such tradeoff rates play important roles in policy decisions concerning improving individual welfare. Specifically, we explicate the recent empirical research on VSL and its related concepts and link the empirical results to the on-going examinations of many government policies intended to improve individuals' health and longevity. We pay special attention to recent issues such as the COVID pandemic and newly emerging foci on distributional consequences concerning which demographic groups may benefit most from certain regulations.

    An order "Banning the Open-pit Method of Mining for Copper, Gold, Silver, and Complex Ores in the Country" was issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on April 27, 2017. Justifications to the order included the past environmental disasters caused by mining operations, which were then employing the open-pit mining method and indicated that such mining method poses risks to host communities and to the environment. The order affects prospective mining projects that would employ the open-pit mining method. On December 23, 2021, the ban was lifted on the premise that the "Revitalization of the Mineral Resource Industry as One Measure to Achieve Economic Growth Amidst the Crisis Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic." The rationale behind opposing development perspectives/sentiments on open-pit mining was reviewed and the ecological integrity implications related to open-pit mining was discussed. Facts were cited and challenges or highlevel opportunities for improvement on various aspects of regulating mining activities, in general, were flagged. The method of mining (i.e. surface/open pit or underground) and type of commodity extracted (i.e. metallics, non-metallics were emphasized as not the only major factors to cause unacceptable outcomes from mining, such as potentials for environmental disasters or negative impact to social welfare. Two major directions to take were provided and options moving forward in order to optimize benefits from approved mining projects were enumerated.
