PROTECT FARMERS, PROTECT BIODIVERSITY: KEEP NEGROS GMO-FREEPETITION TO UPHOLD PROVINCIAL ORDINANCE NO. 007, SERIES OF 2007: THE SAFEGUARD AGAINST LIVING GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS WE, THE PEOPLE OF NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, SAY: PROTECT OUR SAFEGUARD AGAINST LIVING GMOs! We recognize and respect the Provincial Government’s efforts to review policies so that they remain relevant and aligned with national guidelines. However, we strongly urge that Provincial Ordinance No. 007, Series of 2007—our existing safeguard against living genetically modified organisms (GMOs)—be maintained in full force. This ordinance does not ban all GMO-related products. Instead, it specifically prohibits the entry, planting, growing, and field testing of living GMOs within Negros Occidental. This focused safeguard is crucial to protecting our vision and our future. Here is why this protection must remain intact: 1. Protecting Our Dream: Negros as the “Organic Food Island” Negros Occidental has long aspired to be recognized as the Philippines’ “Organic Food Island.” Ordinance No. 007 was carefully crafted to protect this vision and to safeguard the province’s unique biodiversity. Allowing living GMOs could undermine both our brand and the organic industry we have worked so hard to build. 2. A Targeted Safeguard that Works Our ordinance is not a blanket ban on all GMO products. Rather, it applies specifically to living GMOs—plants and animals capable of reproduction. By prohibiting their entry and cultivation, the ordinance prevents risks of genetic contamination and unintended ecological consequences. This safeguard is proportionate and effective in keeping our farming systems safe and aligned with our organic goals. 3. A Thoughtful Decision by Our Leaders The passage of Ordinance No. 007 was a deliberate and unanimous choice by our provincial leaders, reflecting a precautionary approach. Recognizing the uncertainties around the long-term effects of GMOs, they acted decisively to protect public welfare, food security, and the environment. That wisdom remains valid today. 4. Our Right to Stronger Local Protections National laws provide broad guidance, but local governments have the authority to enact measures that reflect their unique context and aspirations. Ordinance No. 007 demonstrates the province’s right—and responsibility—to go beyond minimum standards in protecting its people and environment. 5. Strong Enforcement is Already in Place The ordinance is not symbolic; it has built-in enforcement mechanisms. Monitoring stations at ports of entry and a multi-sectoral committee ensure compliance and accountability. These safeguards are already effective, and replacing them with weaker regulations would put our systems at risk. We therefore respectfully call on Governor Eugenio “Bong” Lacson and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to: • Reject the proposed GMO Regulatory Ordinance. • Retain and strengthen Provincial Ordinance No. 007, Series of 2007. • Unite government agencies, LGUs, civil society organizations, farmers’ cooperatives, and all stakeholders in protecting Negros Occidental’s standing as the Philippines’ Organic Food Island. Let us keep Negros Occidental safe, sustainable, and proudly organic.492 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Breech Pedrajas -
STOP the Proposed Mining in Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya – Protect Our Farms, Rivers, and FutureWe, concerned citizens of Nueva Vizcaya and supporters from across the Philippines, strongly oppose the planned mining operations in Dupax del Norte. Our province is known as the Watershed Haven of Region II, supplying clean water to farms, households, and communities downstream. Dupax del Norte’s fertile lands sustain generations of farmers and provide food security for many families. Allowing large-scale mining here will endanger our environment, livelihoods, and cultural heritage. Why We Oppose the Mining: 1. Threat to Water Sources – Mining can pollute rivers and irrigation systems with silt and heavy metals, affecting agriculture and drinking water. 2. Damage to Agricultural Lands – The proposed site covers farmlands and forests essential to local food production. 3. Risk to Biodiversity – Our forests are home to endangered plants and animals; mining will destroy their habitat. 4. Cultural and Community Impact – The area is part of our heritage and is home to Indigenous Peoples whose free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) is required under the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (RA 8371). 5. Violation of Local Laws – Nueva Vizcaya has an Environment Code prohibiting destructive mining practices such as open-pit operations. Our Call to Action: We urge the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Region II, and our local leaders to: • Deny any mining permits or Environmental Compliance Certificates for the project. • Enforce the Nueva Vizcaya Environment Code and uphold national environmental protection laws. • Protect our watersheds, forests, and agricultural lands for present and future generations. Mining may bring short-term profits to a few, but it will leave long-term damage to our land, water, and community. We call on all Filipinos to stand with us in defending Dupax del Norte from destructive mining. Sign this petition to show the DENR, MGB, and our lawmakers that the people say NO to mining in Dupax del Norte!2,017 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Daisy Agungan -

Protect Biodiversity and Indigenous Land: Stop Palm Oil Plantation in Negros OccidentalIn 2009, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) awarded a 25-year Integrated Forest Management Agreement (IFMA) to Hacienda Asia Plantation Incorporated (HAPI), a joint venture between the Consunji family's Sirawai Plywood and Lumber Corporation and Alfred Joseph Araneta. The project involves converting approximately 6,652 hectares of forest and grassland in Barangays Gatuslao, Agboy, and Payauan into a palm oil plantation. Notably, around 4,000 hectares of this land are inhabited by Indigenous Peoples (IPs), as reported by a local news agency. Approximately 1,000 families face displacement due to the expansion of the palm oil plantation, with many having cultivated these lands for generations, growing crops such as corn, pineapple, sugarcane, and vegetables. Residents also allege that Hacienda Asia Plantation Inc. (HAPI) failed to secure Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) from the affected Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities—a requirement under Philippine law for projects that impact ancestral domains. Additionally, the project reportedly commenced without obtaining the necessary Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), resulting in a Notice of Violation from the Environmental Management Bureau. As of the latest reports, the project remains contentious. According to the Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT), the palm oil project has caused significant environmental degradation. Inadequate erosion control resulted in visible soil erosion in nurseries and terraced areas, with no silt traps or vegetation to prevent runoff from entering water bodies. Riparian zones were cleared and converted for planting, narrowing waterways and increasing siltation, which threatens aquatic ecosystems. A large-scale excavation reshaped a hill without proper hauling or stabilization, while unplanned structures and roads contributed further to soil erosion and sedimentation due to the lack of an ECC. Additionally, solid waste management remains unaddressed, and boundary disputes have emerged, compounding the project's negative impacts. We would like to highlight that the Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT) recommends the issuance of a Notice of Violation and a Cease and Desist Order against HAPI for its ongoing large-scale extraction, excavation, earth-moving activities, and other preparatory or related quarrying or mining operations within the IFMA project area, as stipulated under Section 76 of Provincial Mining Ordinance No. 2023-001.475 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Villalobos -
Stand with Filipino Farmers: End Import Dependence Now!Stop the band-aid solutions to rising rice and agricultural produce prices. Target the lack of transparent data on export and imports, limit the amount of imports, and subsidize the farmers for they need to reduce the cost of production. Farmers today face losses due to the sheer amount of imports that even creates a surplus and prevents farmers from selling at a price that may earn them money or even sell their inventory. The tariffication law, rather than help the rice farmers, had backlashed due to the high production costs of Filipino farmers due to high production cost which can be traced to low subsidization, low production capability, lack of modern equipment, and lack of proper storage and post-harvest facilities. The Philippines imports more than the demand, thus the Filipino farmers have to sacrifice their efforts as their produce would not make profit nor sell.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karl Benedict Chua

Petition for the Installation of Street Lights in New Road, Gabi, CordovaTo the Local Government of Cordova, Cebu, and Concerned Authorities, We, the undersigned residents and concerned individuals, urgently call for the installation of street lights along New Road, Gabi, Cordova, Cebu. This area remains dangerously dark at night, posing significant safety risks to pedestrians, motorists, and the community as a whole. The lack of proper lighting has led to increased risks of accidents, crime, and general unease among residents, especially students, workers, and senior citizens who frequently pass through the area. Street lights are essential for crime prevention, road safety, and overall community well-being. We respectfully urge the local government and relevant agencies to take immediate action by: 1. Conducting an assessment of the area’s lighting needs. 2. Allocating funds for the installation of durable and energy-efficient street lights. 3. Ensuring regular maintenance to keep the lights functioning properly. By signing this petition, we express our strong support for this initiative and seek the prompt attention of authorities. Let’s work together to make New Road, Gabi, a safer and more secure place for everyone! Sign this petition and let’s light up our community!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steff Ike Vanne Arriesgado -

LET MALI REST IN HER HOMELAND"Together with our obligation to use the earth’s goods responsibly, we are called to recognize that other living beings have a value of their own in God’s eyes: “by their mere existence they bless him and give him glory.." (Pope Francis, Laudato Si' 69) Vishwa Ma'ali known as Mali, the saddest elephant, had suffered much away from her family and homeland in Sri Lanka. The display of her taxedermied at Manila Zoo is just another cruel act and utter disrespect to a beautiful creature already deprived of liberty. A monument of any material other than the remains could have been done. Mali's remaining remains must be brought back and buried where she was born. This is the most proper respect we can afford. No elephant or other wildlife be encaged and captured again for profit and human entertainment. Photo by: EJ Sabandal39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Living Laudato Si' Philippines

Opposition to the cutting of trees (Calingao to Atlas) for road widening and beautification projectsThe Sanggunian Bayan of the Municipality of Buenavista Guimaras, the DENR and DPWH: I would like to appeal to the plight of the trees that are affected by the road widening and beautification projects in the Municipality of Buenavista. I understand that development and progress are the dreams of every community. However, in reaching these dreams, I think the trees that have stood for so long a time should not be compromised. We all know the significance of trees in the environment; thus, I do not believe that we cannot think of better ways to develop or become progressive without cutting them. What more of a beauty are we seeking than the grandeur of a tree? Many trees have already been sacrificed for government projects. The people were not even informed or consulted whether they approved of the cutting of trees or not. The local legislators free themselves of the responsibility of guarding the trees, claiming that they have no right to oppose when the purpose is for the road widening. The DENR and the DPWH, on the other hand, had an agreement that permits to cut trees should outright be given when the purpose is road widening and beautification. Thus, I am wondering where we should place ourselves and the trees to remain standing tall when the agencies of government that are supposed to protect us and the environment are working against us in a way that they think is for the betterment of all. I started a signature campaign against the cutting of the trees, and I do not expect a positive response. How may the people express themselves freely in a place where their rights are held captive? The people, when they oppose, their assistance from the government is withheld, and their jobs are compromised. Thus, the people are held by the neck so that they cannot raise their voices.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Candice Lauren De Asis - Luna -

#𝐈𝐚𝐦𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐍: 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄I, along with the undersigned, stand in solidarity with all the residents of Brooke’s Point, Palawan, who are bravely fighting the illegal mining operations of Ipilan Nickel Corporation (INC). In February 2023, an anti-mining human barricade was put up in Brooke’s Point to protest the illegal operations of INC, which has been mining the area without the necessary Mayor’s Permit and the Certificate Precondition from the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). The barricade was subsequently dismantled as the mining company lodged baseless charges against the residents. Despite the Cease and Desist Orders (CDOs) of the local government and the NCIP directing the mining company to stop their operations, INC blatantly defies the orders and persists in mining illegally. Brooke’s Point, Palawan, is home to Mount Mantalingahan, which has a remarkable biodiversity of 861 plant species and 169 vertebrae species. With the continued illegal operations of INC, the environment, and the livelihoods and human rights of the residents -- especially the women and indigenous groups -- are severely affected. Clearly, Brooke’s Point must break free from unjust and destructive mining operations. We have a collective responsibility to protect the ecological richness of Palawan and the welfare of its inhabitants. Along with thousands, I declare that #IamONEwithPalawan as we call for an immediate halt to the illegal operations of INC and the subsequent non-renewal of their Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA). #IamONEwithPALAWAN #DoNotMineCozPalawanisMine Stop Illegal Mining Operations in Palawan Now! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝘈𝘬𝘰, 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘥𝘢, 𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘬𝘪𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘰𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦'𝘴 𝘗𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵, 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘯, 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘮𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘐𝘕𝘊) 𝘕𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘰 2023, 𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦'𝘴 𝘗𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘢 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘕𝘊, 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘮𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘳'𝘴 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 (𝘕𝘊𝘐𝘗) 𝘚𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘸 𝘯𝘢 𝘊𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 (𝘊𝘋𝘖) 𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘕𝘊𝘐𝘗 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨 𝘶𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘯𝘢 𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢, 𝘵𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘨 𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘕𝘊 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘺 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘮𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘵.

SUPPORT INITAO - SAY NO to the Oil Depot and Pier Project.Subject: Protect Initao's Marine Life and Tourism - Oppose the Oil Depot and Pier Development Dear Sir/Maam, I am writing to you as a concerned resident of Initao, deeply invested in the future of our beautiful municipality. Our community is known for its pristine white sand beaches, lush forests, and vibrant marine life, which not only serve as the backbone of our local tourism industry but also as a sanctuary for biodiversity. The proposed development of an oil depot and pier within our vicinity poses a significant threat to the delicate ecological balance we have strived to maintain. The risk of pollution, habitat destruction, and the inevitable industrialization accompanying such projects will irreparably harm our environment. The introduction of heavy industry clashes with our identity as a destination for nature lovers and could result in the loss of tourism revenue that many of our residents rely upon. Moreover, the long-term consequences of this development could be catastrophic. The increased risk of oil spills and industrial accidents endangers our marine ecosystems, which are vital for both the local fishing industry and the preservation of marine diversity. By allowing this project to proceed, we are not only jeopardizing our current way of life but also the legacy we leave for future generations. Initao's forests and seas are more than just natural resources; they are the lifeblood of our community, supporting local livelihoods and providing a place for residents and tourists to connect with nature. We have a responsibility to safeguard these treasures from unsustainable industrial practices that threaten their survival. Therefore, I urge you to stand with me and the many others who call Initao home by opposing the construction of the oil depot and pier. Let us work together to find alternative solutions that promote sustainable development and preserve the unique charm and ecological integrity of our beloved municipality. Our future depends on the decisions we make today. Let's choose a path that protects our environment, supports our economy, and ensures the health and well-being of our community for generations to come. Thank you for considering this urgent appeal. Sincerely, MUHAMMAD ADEL ROA BRGY TUBIGAN, INITAO, MISAMIS ORIENTAL174 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Muhammad Adel Roa -
