STATEMENT FROM: Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines

🇨🇭Switzerland joins hands with the diplomatic community and likeminded states in condemning the forced disappearances of environmental and climate activists here in the Philippines.

In 2023, 10 environmental defenders were killed and seven disappeared in the Philippines, often leaving little to no trace. Switzerland condemns these actions and stands with these unsung heroes: environmental defenders, in protecting the country’s natural resources and biodiversity.

Our prayers are with the Rizal citizens affected by today's flooding. All the more, we must come together to oppose quarrying and land conversion in the Masungi landscape and the Upper Marikina Watershed. In September 2022, after two years of campaigns by civil society groups, the quarrying agreements of Rapid City, Quarry Rock and Quimson Limestone totaling some 1,300 hectares of protected areas were "ordered canceled" by the @DENROfficial. Subsequent follow ups on the status of cancellation by the Upper Marikina Watershed Coalition (UMWC) were left unanswered.

Shortly after, the organized disinformation and moves to cancel the Masungi Geopark Project escalated through the help of several local congressmen. We fear that these interests continue to harbor hope that they can destroy our watershed. But people are beginning to see the severe impacts of wrong land use, and they won't take this sitting down.

Let's continue raising our voices for positive change, resist repression, and solidify the voices of the people in the decisions affecting our shared future! #SaveMasungi #PunlangPagasa #Halalan2024

Female gender was removed from CHADS-VASc score in new ESC guidelines for management of AF.
Rationale : female gender is a risk modifier rather than risk factor for stroke.
Now we have a CHADS-VA score.

Saw this last week and said 'impossible, no human on the face of the Earth would do that', I slip back into naivety now and again.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

At the height of the pandemic, as tens of thousands of people were dying everyday, the Pentagon ran a secret propaganda campaign to undermine China’s Sinovac vaccine in order to counteract Chinese influence in the Philippines, Central Asia & Middle East.

This is so evil.

[World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen]

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I continue to think about the serious situation in Palestine and in Israel where many, many people have lost their lives. In God’s name, I beg you to stop: cease using weapons! I hope that avenues will be pursued so that an escalation of the conflict might be absolutely avoided.

[Manuel L. Quezon III @mlq3]

Why you have to be aware that picking September 21 as the martial law anniversary is a tribute to Marcos who engineered it so people alive then actually forgot there was no martial law on September 21, 1972: a thread.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Humanitarian law is to be respected, especially in Gaza. Please, let no more innocent blood be shed, neither in the Holy Land nor in Ukraine, nor in any other place! Enough! Wars are always a defeat, always!
