Garcia reimplemented an order she first drew in 2020, directing the Philippine Mining Service Corporation to cease and desist processing, selling, and transporting dolomite, associated mineral deposits, and other quarry products here in Cebu until further notice.

Capitol officials found out that PMSC reportedly bought 2,553,299 metric tons of minerals from Dolomite Mining Corp. while the ban remained in effect in 2020.
