Do the inhabitants of a local area benefit directly from the utilization of national wealth? The inhabitants of an area where national wealth is utilized are constitutionally entitled to share in its proceeds by way of direct benefits. This ensures that the local population is not economically bypassed when their environment is exploited for financial gain. The law determines the exact programs or mechanisms through which these direct benefits are distributed to the residents. This provision directly protecting the welfare of local inhabitants is enshrined in Article X, Section 7, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “…including sharing the same with the inhabitants by way of direct benefits.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
