True or False: An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is always required for any project, regardless of its size, location, or potential impact.

• True - because all projects must undergo a full EIS under Philippine law

• True - because EIS is the first step before any project feasibility study

• False - because an EIS is required only for Environmental Critical Projects (ECPs) or projects in Environmentally Critical Areas (ECAs).

• False - because only government projects require an EIS
