1. dear college students, are you threatened by us, shs kids? are you scared because you know that we have more potential than you do?
"Nalulungkot ako kasi syempre, mawawala. Hirap na hirap kami tapos bigla nalang mawawala. Nakakaiyak — anlalaki na ng mga puno. Kuya Romeo, umiiyak ka rin? Nalulungkot lang talaga kami, sabi ko "paano yung mga inalagaan natin. Hirap na hirap na tayo, tapos basta lang mawawala?" -Ate Irene, Masungi Park Ranger, on the planned nullification of the Masungi Geopark Project Memorandum of Agreement by @DENROfficial Secretary Ma. Antonia "Toni" Yulo-Loyzaga. This video was taken during the Rock for Masungi Solidarity Event on April 21, 2024. #SaveMasungi

[STATEMENT] We have monitored an uptick in paid media placements that has sought to discredit and malign our work, organization, and officers.
We are documenting all of these to help combat misinformation, protect defenders, and for appropriate legal actions.
Many of these paid placements quote an unknown "activist from Rizal" named #BernadetteTorres as their main source. No one knows who she is, her organization, or her track record as an activist.
Thank you to those who have called out these pieces of misinformation. All of us, including the media, have the responsibility to safeguard the truth.
This black propaganda is meant to distract and deflect from the real issue which is the continued destruction of our watershed by vested and destructive interests, enabled by the same people mandated to protect our shared natural heritage.
So many environment defenders have suffered the same harassment for their stance against destructive activities, and we need to stand up to stop this practice.
Our responses to the disinformation are pinned in our Twitter and Facebook pages. #SaveMasungi
Note: #VenaEnergy is the same Singapore-based renewable energy company that we have collectively called out in February 2024 for drilling into the Masungi limestone for a wind farm project.
The @onenewsph article that disclosed Vena Energy as the presenter of the advertorial quoting Bernadette Torres earlier identified the @DENROfficial as the presenter of the same. Today, the disclosures are gone.
We humbly ask #OneNewsPH to return the proper disclosure for the information of the public, consistent with advertising and journalism guidelines. Thank you.
The Way, Way Back is a new favourite of mine. Great comedy with a solid plot. I like how Duncan is unveiled. Owen is of course, the best character and there was a permanent smile on my face whenever Sam Rockwell and Liam James shared the screen. I cried like three times
