@Rachel_Cox01 from @Global_Witness said, โAs the search for minerals essential for the worldโs transition to clean energy is increasing in Asia, so are increased risks for communities and potential harms to the environment from irresponsible mining."
Extractive. Destructive. Intrusive.
According to @Global_Witness, almost 2,000 land and environmental defenders have been murdered over the past decade โ some 70% of them in Latin America.
The Philippines is always number 1 in Asia.
As per the @Global_Witness Report, around 281 defenders have been killed in the Philippines since 2012. GW reported that a third of the killings were associated with defenders who opposed mining operations.
Marcos vows to protect the environment and enforce mining laws.
Happening now.
Sibuyanons residing in Metro Manila trooped to the @DENROfficial to hold an overnight vigil rally demanding the cancellation of the Mineral Sharing Production Agreement (MPSA) of Gatchalian's Altai Philippines Mining Corporation.
Ang malayang pagkilos at pag protesta laban sa malalakihan at mapanirang minahan, na pag mamay-ari ng mga mayayaman at mga dayuhan ay isang paraan upang ipakita na buhay ang demokrasya sa ating bayan.

#CommunityGarden
QUEZON CITYโ In an effort to proactively maximize the streets of NIA Road, the @AksyonVerde installed a vertical urban garden dubbed โNIA Rd. Community Gardenโ to address the concern on food security, hunger, and adaption to rising agri-commodities due to inflation.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane Hulleza, president of UNNA, and staff from Joy of Urban Farming said that "harvested vegetables will be shared with the community and some of these harvests are planned to be sold in the market. We can now eat fresh vegetables and earn at the same time."
Volunteers will mass up in front of the National Electrification Administration, NIA Rd.
Please bring your gardening tools, towel, water tumbler, and wear comfortable clothes!
