STOP THE SINKING OF BULACANSTOP THE SINKING OF BULACAN: Call for a Moratorium & Technical Review of the NMIA Reclamation INTRO: Bulacan is drowning — literally. Since the massive 3,000-hectare Aerocity reclamation began, and with the looming 9,000-hectare Bulacan Ecozone, entire towns across Bulacan, Pampanga, and CAMANAVA are suffering unprecedented flooding, saltwater intrusion, dead farmlands, and collapsing livelihoods. This is NOT just climate change. This is NOT just normal high tide. This is NOT “matagal nang problema.” Hydrologists from Hong Kong, environmental scientists, geologists, and local experts have warned for years: Reclamation in a semi-enclosed bay destroys natural drainage, alters groundwater, and causes regional flooding — even tens of kilometers away. Today, Bulacan is living that nightmare. We demand science-based action from the national government before the damage becomes irreversible. Sign this petition to call for: ✅ A MORATORIUM on all reclamation ✅ An INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL REVIEW ✅ REOPENING of blocked river mouths ✅ FULL DISCLOSURE of hydrological studies ✅ RELIEF and COMPENSATION for affected communities This is not anti-development. This is pro-science, pro-people, and pro-survival425 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Bulacan Coastal Watch

Call for a Temporary Tax Holiday Pending Comprehensive Anti-Corruption ReformsWe, the undersigned citizens of the Philippines, respectfully submit this petition to call for urgent corrective measures in light of persistent corruption scandals that have significantly undermined public trust in governance and the proper utilization of taxpayer funds. The Commission on Audit (COA) and various watchdog organizations have repeatedly documented billions of pesos lost annually due to misuse, irregular disbursements, and fraud. These losses deprive our nation of schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and social programs that are vital to the welfare of the Filipino people. In recognition of these systemic issues, we hereby petition for the following: 1. Declaration of a Temporary Tax Holiday for low- and middle-income earners, small businesses, and essential goods, pending demonstrable implementation of anti-corruption reforms. 2. Full, independent, and transparent audits of government expenditures by COA, with public disclosure of findings. 3. Institutional reforms to strengthen whistleblower protection, ensure impartial prosecution of corruption cases, and enforce transparency in procurement and spending. 4. Clear timelines and measurable targets for anti-corruption reforms, with progress reports accessible to the public. It is unjust to compel citizens to fund a system where public money is routinely stolen or misused. Until credible reforms are enforced, tax relief is both a moral and equitable recourse. We urge our leaders to heed this call for accountability and justice.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Chiong

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.670 of 800 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!2,153 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. 2023-001.480 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

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 Sabandal40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Living Laudato Si' Philippines
