With over 2 million people devastated by #KristinePH, government agencies, civil society, and NGOs have been quick to call for donations and immediate relief. But we need more than resilience and charity programs if we want to resolve the heart of the problem.
We must demand the Marcos government invest heavily in renewable energy and immediately phase out fossil fuels; curb all environmentally-destructive policies and projects; and support communities’ efforts for climate resilience and adaptation.
📌For Monetary Donations, you may send via GCash and PayMaya to:
CHRISTOPHER M. NOCOS - (0947) 321 2843
📌For In-Kind Donations, you may drop them off at:
GOVERNOR’S GUEST HOUSE, near Bicol University - Main Campus, Legazpi City, Albay (next to CHED Office)
CALL FOR SOLIDARITY🫂
As we hope for the safety of everyone, SAVE Ph and Youth Ambassadors of Albay extends this appeal to help communities affected by #KristinePH
Join us on August 18, 3 PM via Google Meet as we answer critical questions on climate action and the path towards a people and planet centered future.

Solarizing our schools and shifting to renewable energy should be the administration’s top priority to ensure that our schools and communities are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

Most of these contracts will last for 15 years. It will not just be our parents who will be locked in paying the prices of dirty, destructive, and expensive energy.
🧐 Furthermore, the majority of Meralco's contracts rely on coal directly sourced from powerplants that Meralco itself owns or holds majority shares. This is illegal and violates the competitive selection process that supposedly secures cheap electricity for consumers.
🏭 The majority of the energy that Meralco supplies is from imported fossil fuel whose prices are subject to the volatile global market on top of being destructive to the environment.
ICYMI: SAVE Ph, P4P - Power for People Coalition and multisectoral groups picketed in front of the Meralco Business Centre to protest Meralco's continued allegiance to dirty and expensive fossil fuels resulting in high prices of elecricity.⚡️
🌍On the Global Day of Action for #ClimateJustice, SAVE Ph joined thousands of climate justice advocates, labor, women, human rights, church, and youth groups calling for climate justice and system change.
SAVE Ph Lead Convenor, Zyoen Garcia asserted the education sector's pivotal role in the Philippines' efforts to combat climate change. Garcia called on the government to take the lead and compel all schools to shift away from dirty energy towards cleaner renewables.
