Naawa ako sa mga Aeta. Naaala ko nung pinag-aaralan ko ung tungkol sa kanila nung elementary ako tapos sobrang humahanga ako sa kanila. I truly respect them kasi sila yung nag-aalaga ng kalikasan natin. Tapos binabalewala lang sila ng gobyerno natin. Puñeta

‘THE EARTH IS NOT OURS TO EXHAUST. IT IS OURS TO STEWARD’
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Bayombong released a pastoral statement on Thursday rejecting the Pax Silica project.
“If Pax Silica pushes forward without genuine consultation and strong protections, the same pattern may become worse: communities may face greater pressure to give up their land, while those who speak out may face more harassment and intimidation,” the statement read.
“We do not oppose development that is genuinely just, sustainable, and determined by the people themselves. But development cannot mean the sacrifice of farmers, Indigenous peoples, workers, and rural communities for the benefit of powerful corporations and foreign interests. The earth is not merely a source of raw materials; it is our common home and the foundation of life for present and future generations,” they added. | via @EZMacairan
