Stop Corruption Now: Demand Transparency and Accountability from Our LeadersCorruption continues to steal billions of pesos from the Filipino people — money that should go to education, healthcare, disaster response, and public infrastructure.

Our future depends on it. 2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jest Antaa

STOP the Proposed Mining in Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya – Protect Our Farms, Rivers, and FutureDupax del Norte, in the heart of the Caraballo Mountains, is blessed with clean rivers, fertile farms, and lush forests that sustain every barangay in our town. Mining will strip our mountains bare, poison our water, and destroy our way of life — just like what happened in Kasibu’s Didipio mine. Once our forests are gone and our rivers run dry, no amount of money can bring them back. We must act now to protect our home, our children’s future, and the lifeblood of Nueva Vizcaya.2,015 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Daisy Agungan

Protect Biodiversity and Indigenous Land: Stop Palm Oil Plantation in Negros OccidentalProtecting biodiversity and Indigenous land in Candoni, Negros Occidental is crucial not only for the well-being of the local ecosystem, but also for the preservation of the cultural heritage and livelihood of Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands for generations. The ongoing palm oil project threatens to destroy critical forest areas, pollute water systems, displace farming communities, and exhibits blatant disregard of the law. These lands are home to unique plant and animal species, many of which may not survive the rapid environmental changes caused by deforestation, soil erosion, and siltation. Moreover, the lack of proper consultation with Indigenous communities violates their rights and disregards their role as stewards of the land. We call on all Negrenses to stand with the people of Candoni by joining our campaign and remaining vigilant in defending our environment and indigenous people. Now more than ever, we need collective action to hold destructive projects accountable and to demand that development respects both ecological balance and human dignity. Let us come together to protect what remains of our forests, rivers, and ancestral domains—for the future of our children, our communities, the people, and the planet.475 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Villalobos

Stand with Filipino Farmers: End Import Dependence Now!Filipino farmers are the backbone of the country. Our country has long since been an agricultural country yet today, we lag behind most countries in terms of production, development, growth, and exports. For years, support on the agricultural sector have been lacking and Filipino farmers have been experiencing poverty. It is up to us to call out those who are accountable and vote for Filipinos who truly show care for the welfare of our farmers. We must prevent exploitation and abuse of our farmers through finding the root causes of their problems in price and production.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karl Benedict Chua

Petition for the Installation of Street Lights in New Road, Gabi, CordovaInstalling street lights in New Road, Gabi, Cordova, Cebu is important for several reasons: 1. Safety for Pedestrians and Motorists – Poor lighting increases the risk of accidents, especially for people walking or riding motorcycles and bicycles at night. Street lights help prevent collisions and falls by improving visibility. 2. Crime Prevention – Dark areas can become hotspots for criminal activities such as theft, assault, and vandalism.

LET MALI REST IN HER HOMELANDWildlife must live in the wild freely and their habitats protected. There may be temporary human intervention in saving wildlife due to anthropogenic distraction and distortion but conserving and rehabilitating spaces and habitats must also be done significantly. We call on the government to intensify education and information initiatives about Philippine wildlife and how we are able to work together in preserving them. Many Philippine endangered fauna are threatened due to mining, opening of roads, poaching and logging. While zoos may be educational and recreational, we see deeply in every animal's eye the longing to be in the wild. We recognize that we are in a very complex world where even in the wild, they are in danger, and within the walls of zoos they awkwardly satisfy the eyes of humans while depriving themselves of the vast possibilities and natural processes they ought to participate. Let us not add more suffering.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Living Laudato Si' Philippines

SUPPORT INITAO - SAY NO to the Oil Depot and Pier Project.The importance of protecting areas like Initao from the development of industrial facilities such as an oil depot and pier can be understood from several critical perspectives: 1. Environmental Protection: The establishment of industrial sites, especially those related to fossil fuels, poses significant risks to local ecosystems. These risks include oil spills, air and water pollution, and habitat destruction, all of which can have devastating effects on wildlife and plant life. Preserving the natural habitats in Initao helps maintain biodiversity, which is essential for ecological balance and the health of the planet. 2. Marine Life Conservation: Coastal and marine ecosystems are some of the most productive and biologically diverse areas on Earth. Protecting these areas ensures the survival of numerous marine species, some of which may be endemic or threatened. Marine conservation efforts help sustain fish populations, protect coral reefs, and maintain the overall health of the oceans. 3. Sustainable Tourism: Initao's identity and economy are closely tied to its natural beauty and resources, which attract tourists seeking white sand beaches and unspoiled nature. Sustainable tourism can provide long-term economic benefits without degrading the environment, while industrialization could deter visitors, negatively impacting local businesses and livelihoods. 4. Community Health and Safety: Industrial facilities, particularly those dealing with oil, can be hazardous to nearby residents due to the potential for accidents, explosions, and exposure to toxic substances. Protecting the community from these risks is paramount to ensuring public health and safety. 5. Cultural and Heritage Preservation: Natural landscapes often hold cultural significance for local communities and indigenous peoples. Preserving these areas maintains the cultural heritage and allows future generations to experience and appreciate their ancestral lands. 6. Climate Change Mitigation: The protection of forests and seas plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide and serving as carbon sinks. Development that leads to deforestation or destruction of marine habitats can exacerbate climate change impacts. 7. Legacy for Future Generations: Preserving natural and unspoiled environments ensures that future generations can enjoy and benefit from them, just as present generations have. It is about leaving a legacy that values the long-term health of the planet over short-term industrial gains. In summary, opposing the development of the oil depot and pier in Initao is about safeguarding the environment, ensuring the well-being of the community, preserving the local economy, and maintaining a commitment to future generations. It is about choosing a path of sustainable development that respects the delicate balance between human activity and the natural world.174 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Muhammad Adel Roa

HCWH's Position Statement on the proposed bill establishing waste-to-energy technologiesThere is an urgent need for the health sector to rise up and support the fight against false solutions to plastic pollution. Global waste generation is set to double from 2015 to 2025, reaching over 6 million tonnes per day, with a projected increase to 11 million tonnes per day by the next century. In the Philippines, 362,000 metric tons of waste and 280 metric tons of medical waste are generated annually, posing challenges for proper waste management and segregation. Focusing on sustainable alternatives over disposal can reshape consumption habits and lead to better waste reduction outcomes. The Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 clearly indicates the rights of Filipinos, including the right to breathe clean air, the right to utilize and enjoy all natural resources according to the principle of sustainable development, and the right to be informed of the nature and extent of the potential hazards of any activity. Incineration, also known as waste-to-energy, thermal treatment, energy-from-waste, and energy recovery, is not an effective solution to the waste management challenges and plastic pollution crisis. Beyond the health impacts and environmental degradation, false solutions, including WTE technology, do not effectively address waste disposal challenges and energy generation. Health Care Without Harm Southeast Asia, therefore, states our opposition to this bill. We are deeply concerned about the potential health and environmental risks associated with reintroducing incineration technologies, such as waste-to-energy facilities, for dealing with municipal waste, including medical and infectious waste. We urge for preventive measures to be taken, a just transition to be provided, and a precautionary approach to be supported in waste management.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Health Care Without Harm Southeast Asia
