Coal versus Communities: Voices from the Nuclear and Coal-Free Bataan Movement https://t.co/ntDDnNyhnh

A total of 26 families from Sitio Kabilang Ilog in Barangay Capunitan, Orion, Bataan, were forced to leave their homes on Monday, August 12, due to demolition works, said Rappler Communities app user and environmental advocate Sophia Alday. Residents formed a human barricade to prevent police from entering their property, as shown in photos and videos Alday sent to Rappler. She said no temporary evacuation site was prepared for the residents.

Edlyn Rosales, chairperson of fishers’ rights group PANGISDA, said there was a community dialogue on the issue in February, the same month a demolition notice was filed. Rosales claimed not all families were given compensation.

The Mandamus on the Manila bay clean up is being used as an excuse to drive away the fishers from their land & fishing grounds while corporations are free to destroy the ocean by reclaiming and quarrying the ocean with impunity. So, again, development for whom?

Its Flu season and having this huge coal-fired power plant as a neighbor, only aggravates the health situation. Laban lungs🫁!

We remember Yolanda and the horror that it has brought to humanity and the environment.

So, the struggle for climate justice continues.

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Look at how SMC Global Power, the owner of the 600MW coal plant in Lamao have been hauling and transporting the coal ash from their plant to the ash pond in Limay, Bataan.

Reclamation of the fishing grounds in Bataan still continues. Where is the promised review of all the projects in Manila bay by the DENR? Apparently, appropriate action is still lacking if not wanting.

When experience and indigenous knowledge of community folks are considered and highlighted in climate action, reliable and practical measures would be expected.💚

At the time when our security of tenure & right to shelter are threatened by the impacts of climate crisis, the right to public and decent housing and social services should be demanded as an urgent climate action!
