The National Council of Churches in the Philippines is a fellowship of ten mainline Protestant and non-Roman Catholic Churches and ten service oriented organizations in the Philippines established in 1963. It represents close to twelve million adherents who believe that the Christian faith must be lived out in the crucible of people’s daily experiences. From its inception, the NCCP has been at the forefront of issues affecting the powerless and has engaged with the people in their struggle for social transformation. As such, environmental protection and the issue of large-scale mining is one of its core advocacies. It is member of the World Council of Churches and the Christian Conference of Asia.

The National Council of Churches in the Philippines is organized in ten regional ecumenical councils: Cordillera, Cagayan Valley, Pangasinan-Ilocos-La Union-Abra, Romblon-Mindoro, Palawan, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Cotabato, Misamis Oriental-Camiguin-Butuan-Lanao, Basilan-Zamboanga-Misamis Occidental Regional Ecumenical Council.
