#๐๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๐จ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐I, along with the undersigned, stand in solidarity with all the residents of Brookeโs 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 Brookeโs Point to protest the illegal operations of INC, which has been mining the area without the necessary Mayorโs 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. Brookeโs 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, Brookeโs 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! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ๐๐ฌ๐ฐ, ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฎ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐ข, ๐ข๐บ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฌ๐ช๐ช๐ด๐ข ๐ด๐ข ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ต๐ข๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ด๐ข ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ'๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต, ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ข ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ณ๐ข ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ช๐ค๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ (๐๐๐) ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ 2023, ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐บ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ด๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ข๐บ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ข ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ'๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ข ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ข ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐๐, ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข ๐ด๐ข ๐ญ๐ถ๐จ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ธ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ถ๐ฌ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ข๐บ๐ฐ๐ณ'๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ช๐ต ๐ข๐ต ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข ๐ด๐ข ๐๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด ๐๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด (๐๐๐๐) ๐๐ข ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ธ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ (๐๐๐) ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ต ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐จ ๐ถ๐ถ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐จ๐ช๐ญ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ข, ๐ต๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐จ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ถ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ข๐ต ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ญ๐ฐ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ธ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ถ๐ฌ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ช๐ต ๐ข๐ต ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ถ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต. ๐๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ'๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต, ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ข๐บ ๐ต๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ข๐บ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ข-๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐บ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฉ๐ข๐บ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐จ 861 ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ต 169 ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ค๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ข๐บ๐ฐ๐ฑ. ๐๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ญ๐ฐ๐บ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐๐, ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ต๐ถ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฉ๐ข๐บ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ข๐ต ๐ฌ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆโ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ช๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ต ๐ฌ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐จ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ. ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ต ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆโ๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐บ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐บ๐ข ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข ๐ด๐ข ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข. ๐๐ข๐บ๐ฐ ๐ข๐บ ๐ฎ๐ข๐บ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ต๐ช๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ข๐ข๐ฏ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐บ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฃ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฎ๐ข ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ต๐ข๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฃ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ด๐ข ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ข. ๐๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฎ๐ข ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐จ๐ข ๐ต๐ถ๐ฎ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐จ, ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฐ'๐บ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฌ๐ช๐ช๐ด๐ข ๐ด๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐จ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ โ๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐บ ๐๐๐๐!โ, ๐ข๐ต ๐ฏ๐ข๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ฉ๐ข๐บ๐ข๐จ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐จ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐จ๐ต๐ช๐จ๐ช๐ญ ๐ด๐ข ๐ช๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฏ๐ข ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ด๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐๐ โ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ด๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ข ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฑ๐ข๐จ-๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต (๐๐๐๐). #๐๐ข๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ #๐๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐ป๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ธ!62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Ryan -
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 ORIENTAL171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Muhammad Adel Roa -
HCWH's Position Statement on the proposed bill establishing waste-to-energy technologiesWe urgently appeal to policymakers to adopt preventive approaches as the cornerstone of efforts to reduce risks from chemicals and waste. And more importantly, policymakers should reject the proposed waste-to-energy legislation in the Philippine Congress and Senate, urging a prioritization of community health and safety and the exploration of alternatives with minimal environmental impact.

President Marcos Jr: Make SHELL and other oil, coal, & gas companies pay for climate disastersFossil fuels are turbo-charging extreme weather events and people all over the world, especially in countries like the Philippines, are suffering the worst consequences. These devastating storms, floods, and droughts are a direct result of companies extracting and burning coal, gas, and oilโthe climate killersโfor decades. Meanwhile, these companies are earning trillions of dollars even as people, local government units and the national government shoulder the costs of lost lives and livelihoods, and damaged homes and infrastructure. Filipino communities have been calling for climate justice and accountability for years. Local governments and institutions have been taking actionโwith several municipalities and provinces declaring a climate emergency and announcing action against these companies. The Commission on Human Rights in the Philippines has also found legal grounds to hold the worldโs biggest climate polluters accountable for human rights harms. Recently, the Philippine Congress filed the worldโs first climate accountability bill, seeking to establish a legal framework for corporate accountability for losses and damages and human rights harms from climate impacts. **President BBM must ensure that climate justice and seeking accountability and reparations from corporate climate polluters is a state policy. Now is the time for the President to back his words with action and pursue all means to make climate polluters pay.** We demand that fossil fuel companies: * Stop their climate wrecking activities including their involvement in new fossil fuel projects * Admit and apologize for their crimes * Repair and pay for the damage they have caused Governments who have chosen to ignore the devastating impacts on communities in the global south must force polluters to pay for the historic damage they caused and for future climate disasters. Governments must demand an end to the fossil fuel industry crimes and ensure justice for all who are impacted by their dirty business. Polluters must stop drilling and start paying! Join us in this urgent fight for climate justice: Fossil fuel greed should not prevail over the protection of people and the planet!496 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Greenpeace Philippines

Protect Boracay's Main Water Source and Save Panay's Last Low-lying Forest!CALL TO ACTION We must prioritize environmental preservation while pursuing green energy. The NWPP project, notably NWPP-2, warrants suspension due to its environmental impact. The DENR should cancel the SAPA, and the PAMB should revoke endorsements. A comprehensive review, accountability from stakeholders, and mitigation efforts are necessary. NPPNP's protection must be a top priority, and we should reject superficial "greenwashing" attempts in favor of true sustainability. From all the probable evidence of PWEIโs blatant environmental violations, we demand the following urgent actions: 1. Immediate Stoppage 2. SAPA Cancellation 3. Endorsement Revocation 4. Conduct a Comprehensive Review of the Impacts 5. Accountability Let us not underscore the critical point: The Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park faces ongoing and impending ecological deterioration unless we fully commit to its legal protection and safeguarding, recognizing the invaluable services it provides to our communities. Preserving the last remaining contiguous low-lying forest in Panay Island, a sanctuary for endemic and vulnerable species, must be an unwavering priority for all of us. We cannot be swayed by superficial solutions that are mere "greenwashing" attempts, promising benefits while concealing the potentially far more costly consequences they entail. NPPNP possesses a wealth of resources that far exceed the potential gains of hyper-destructive projects like PWEI. The watersheds and rivers of Nabaoy, which supply the vital island of Boracay, exemplify the correct approach to cost-benefit analysis. We must steadfastly uphold the true values of sustainability and resist compromising or trading our natural resources for hollow "greenwashed solutions." We call for louder and bolder actions to immediately STOP this ongoing ecological atrocity inside the NPPNP, endangering Boracay's main source of potable water!

Suspend Reclamation in Manila Bay Now!Implement the suspension of all reclamation projects in Manila Bay! No to reclamation, save Manila Bay! We, the Filipino people, urge the President and his administration to fully commit to and implement the suspension of reclamation projects across Manila Bay. We stand united in defending our Manila Bay, with its rich biodiversity, cultural heritage, and contribution to our food security. We stand united in conserving the bay for the sake of Filipinos today and for generations to come. In light of negative social and environmental impacts of reclamation, we believe that suspending reclamation projects in the bay area and conducting an independent and scientific assessment of cumulative impacts are necessary steps towards the rehabilitation of the Manila Bay ecosystem. We call on the administration to release the corresponding orders and guidelines regarding this suspension, such as an explicit executive order, and to ensure that project construction and development does indeed stop while cumulative impacts are being assessed.383 of 400 SignaturesCreated by People's NICHE -
Filipino Youth Say No to Reclamation! Pro-people Adaptation now!Join the Filipino youth in saying no to reclamation with these demands to these government agencies. Amid the climate crisis that increases Filipinosโ vulnerabilities, we need adaptation that is genuine and puts people over profit! 1. Genuine and active role of youth in the process of application and decision-making processes. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources must allow and respect the right of the public to access the Environmental Impact Assessment Studies and any Environmental Compliance Certificate issued for reclamation projects. We demand that the voices of young people be heard and taken into account in all decision-making processes related to coastal reclamation projects. Our generation will be the most affected by the long-term impacts of these projects, and we have the right to participate in shaping our future. 2. Drop existing reclamation and dredging projects. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources must issue letters of objections to all dump-and-fill projects as well as dredging in all coastlines. We demand that all ongoing and planned coastal reclamation projects in the Philippines be immediately halted. These projects pose a significant threat to our marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of our fisherfolk. We urge our government to prioritize the protection of our environment and the interests of our people over the profits of corporations. 3. Reallocate funds towards prioritising pro-people adaptation, investing in sustainable and youth-led solutions. We call on the National Government to prioritize investment in sustainable and youth-led solutions to protect our oceans and coastlines. This includes supporting innovative solutions developed by young people, such as the use of renewable energy sources, sustainable fishing practices, and the implementation of green infrastructure. Reallocation of funding of the military and NTF-ELCAC must go to efforts that put communities and the environment first.130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines -

PBBM and DENR Sec Toni: Stop BuCor in Masungi! #HandsOffMasungiDear President Marcos Jr and DENR Secretary Yulo-Loyzaga, We, concerned Filipino citizens, oppose the planned transfer of the New Bilibid Prison/Bureau of Correction (BuCor) Headquarters/BuCor facilities to the Masungi Georeserve in the Province of Rizal. The Masungi Georeserve is a sensitive karst or limestone ecosystem that is home to precious plants and animals including the rare JCโs vine, the highest count of snail species in the country, 30 species of bats, and threatened native trees. According to a technical report from the National Museum of the Philippines, the Masungi Rock formation is possibly the only remaining large exposure of Paleocene age rock in the Philippines. As a karst ecosystem, it is highly susceptible to disturbances in its surroundings. Moreover, the Masungi Georeserve has been the site of many beautiful memories of Filipinos. The Masungi Georeserve Foundation has taken care of it for many years against professional squatters, quarries, and illegal loggers. In pursuit of sustainable development and climate change adaptation, let us keep Masungi as it is and find more suitable locations for BuCor's needs. #HandsOffMasungi3,124 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Save Masungi Movement -
Let's Save Palawan's Forests!Palawanโs forests are known globally for their rich ecosystems with high biodiversity, but they are continuously threatened by mining, monocrop plantations (agro-forestry plantations), and ill-planned infrastructure projects. These projects have resulted in an increasing number of trees being cut and more forest areas being destroyed. To date, nickel mining companies have been allowed to pursue mineral exploration and development activities in seven municipalities in Southern Palawan. Based on the government data, applications and issued mineral agreements covering exploration, development, and utilization activities are located in more than 10,000 hectares of natural old-growth and secondary forests. Monocrop plantations such as oil palm, coconut, and rubber plantations have been allowed to expand in natural forest areas and cover approximately 8,000 hectares. In addition, a plantation company has been issued a Joint Venture Agreement and clearances to cover some 3,500 hectares of natural forest. This is despite the absence of a cost-benefit analysis and biodiversity assessment. We find it unconscionable that Government will allow the conversion of natural forests into agricultural plantations without the benefit of scientific studies and genuine community consultations, including free and prior informed consent (FPIC) processes. Ill-planned infrastructure projects such as six-lane highways, mega-dams, and reclamation projects have resulted in the continually increasing number of cut trees and forests being destroyed. Palawan is also highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In December 2021, the northern barangays of Puerto Princesa City and the northern municipalities of Palawan suffered unprecedented damage from Super Typhoon Odette (international name โRaiโ). Many forest areas and wildlife were devastated by the strong typhoon. The province has seen flooding due to heavy rains compounded by the damaging effects of El Nino. While Palawan is governed by its own special law, the Strategic Environmental Plan for Palawan (Republic Act No. 7611) provides for a zonation strategy, certain core and restricted use zones have been converted or proposed to be converted to allow large-scale mining and monocrop plantations to operate. The Save Palawan Movement believes that extractive projects that have threatened and continue to threaten Palawanโs natural forests must not be allowed to continue. Forests are critical sources of food, medicine, clean water, and non-timber forest products for indigenous peoples. Forests are also watersheds that irrigate numerous farmlands. Mangrove forests are rich nursery areas for marine life and wildlife habitats and provide an important buffer zone against storm surges. Various studies have shown the tremendous value of Palawanโs forests and the range of ecosystem services that it provides. For instance, a Total Economic Valuation (TEV) study of the Mt. Mantalingahan Protected Landscape (MMPL) underscored that the value of ecosystem good and services (P266 billion) for people far outweigh the value of minerals (P15 billion). More than 20 years of mining in Southern Palawan has proved that a significant number of forests destroyed have not been rehabilitated, the farmlands inundated with nickel laterite have not been restored, and the threats to biodiversity, livelihood, and health have not been addressed.1,376 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Sophia Caralde -
Commit the Philippines to Investing in Clean Renewable EnergyIn order to lessen the impact of the nation's energy system, the government needs to further invest in renewable energy sources and concretely answer the public's call for renewable and other low-emission energy sources.

Uphold the Ban! Protect Tampakan!We call the people of South Cotabato to make their voices louder against open-pit mining. We call on the people of the Davao Region, particularly Davao del Sur, to participate in this issue, as we will also be affected by the impacts of this project. We appeal to the Provincial Governor of South Cotabato, Reynaldo Tamayo, Jr., to listen to the voices of the people and veto the amendments to the Environment Code. As the maxim goes, โSalus populi est suprema lexโ. The government of South Cotabato should always keep in mind that the welfare of the people is the supreme law. In these times of pandemic, climate emergency, and increasing population, protecting our watersheds for many generations is ot mere compliance but rather an indispensable action of our generation.621 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability Inc.
