the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.

Remember all those Senators who failed to go to work today because they accompanied a person who got arrested for PLUNDER not once but THRICE in 25 years.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ORDER FILED BY STUDENTS, ADVOCATES VS SAN MIGUEL CORP.

Students and environmental advocates attended a hearing before the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 41 on Monday regarding their petition for a temporary environmental protection order against San Miguel Corp. (SMC) over the massive tree cutting along Quirino Avenue in Manila.

“We are prompted to file this action in representation of the youth and those yet unborn because we also want to send a message to these corporations that are actively destroying our environment,” petitioner Joaquin Bautista said.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said there are 523 trees subject to tree-cutting and another 94 trees for earth-balling, totaling 617 trees affected to yield construction for the Southern Access Link Expressway (SALEX).

Bautista said the citizen action suit aims to pursue ecological justice and accountability, stressing that SMC should rehabilitate the trees cut in Manila.

The irreparable damage from this ecological violence will be inherited by succeeding generations, sustainability and environment student Elisha Zantua said.

“It can cause catastrophic effects such as eliminating the structure of preventing soil erosion, lessening the capabilities to absorb the floodwater, and affecting the air quality around the space,” she said.

“What we really need right now is more green spaces. We shouldn’t just prioritize urban development over what the people actually need,” Zantua added.

University student and petitioner Paul Benedict Callorina lamented how decades-old trees, which have stood long before he was born, were brazenly cut for an expressway project.

“Our policies and laws should be pro-people and pro-nature,” Callorina said.

The DENR said last week that SMC has voluntarily suspended further tree-cutting activities along Quirino Avenue following the public outrage. | @andronquillo

“I love my LGBT friends, but...”

No, mahal. If we really love them, we’d fight that they enjoy the same rights as we do. We’d educate ourselves about their struggles. We’d use our straight privilege to dismantle an old system that oppresses them. ✊🏼💜

PANOORIN: Agaw-pansin ang mala-burak na tubig na dumaloy sa white sand beach diretso sa dagat sa El Nido, Palawan noong Miyerkoles, May 20.

Ayon sa uploader, nang medyo tumila na raw ang malakas na ulan noong araw na iyon, nakita nila ang rumaragasang maitim na tubig mula sa ilalim ng kanilang tinutuluyang hotel na dumaloy patungo sa dagat.

Sinusubukan naman ng GMA News na kunin ang pahayag ng naturang hotel kung saan nakitang dumadaloy sa culvert sa ilalim nito ang maitim na tubig ngunit wala pa raw silang pahayag sa ngayon.

Hihintayin pa raw ng pamunuan ng naturang hotel na makabalik mula sa ibang bansa ang kanilang general manager.

Sabi naman ng pamunuan ng barangay, matagal na raw itong problema sa lugar lalo na kapag tag-ulan, hindi raw galing sa hotel ang tubig kundi galing sa waterway mula sa bundok.

Sinusubukan pa rin kuhanan ng pahayag ang DENR, DOT at ang El Nido LGU.

AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.
