⚠️ENVI ALERT: ITIGIL ANG OFFSHORE MINING OPERATIONS SA LINGAYEN GULF! DEPENSAHAN ANG ATING KARAGATAN AT KABUHAYAN MULA SA DAYUHANG PANDARAMBONG!

Mariing kinukundena ng Pangasinan People’s Strike for the Environment (PPSE) ang nagpapatuloy na dredging at offshore mining sa Lingayen Gulf sa pangunguna ng mga foreign mining corporations at malalaking burukrata. Hapon ng Mayo 24, namataan ng mga mangingisda ng Lingayen ang isang bagong barkong pangmina sa paligid ng kanilang pook-pangisdaan. Kinikilala ng mga makakalikasan na habang tuloy-tuloy ang malawakang extraction sa ating mga yamang mineral, kalikasan at kabuhayan ng mga maliliit na mangingisda ang siyang lubos na naapektuhan.

Sa bidyong inilabas ng isang mangingisda, malinaw na makikita kung paano hinahalukay ang ilalim ng dagat, umaangat ang itim na buhangin, at lumalabo ang tubig na siyang pinagkukunan ng buhay at kabuhayan ng mga mangingisda sa Pangasinan. Hindi ito simpleng paghuhukay sa ating karagatan. Ang ganitong klase ng dredging at offshore mining ay karaniwang isinasagawa sa malawakang operasyon na tumatagal ng maraming taon at sumasaklaw sa malalaking bahagi ng dagat. Sa iba’t ibang panukalang proyekto ng extraction sa bansa, milyon-milyong tonelada ng seabed materials ang nilalayong kunin habang libu-libong ektarya ng dagat at komunidad sa baybayin ang direktang naaapektuhan.

Ang mga offshore mining operations na ito ay hindi lang ngayon nasimulan. Ito ay matagal nang pinroyekto mula pandemya at siyang nagpapatuloy at maaaring magdulot ng deka-dekadang pagkasira sa kalusugan ng ating dagat, kabuhayan ng mga mangingisda, at seguridad sa pagkain ng mamamayan. Kasama ring winawasak ang tirahan ng mga organismo sa ating dagat, ginagambala ang mga pook-pangisdaan, at lumilikha ng polusyon, ingay, at trapiko na malaking sakdal sa paghahanapbuhay ng mga mangingisda ng Lingayen Gulf.

Ayon mismo sa mga mangingisda, tila sinasagasaan at tinataboy pa ng mga malalaking dredging ships ang kanilang maliliit na bangka, sa dagat na matagal nang nagsisilbing communal fishing ground at ikinabubuhay ng mga mangingisda ng Pangasinan. Sa loob ng maraming henerasyon, sama-samang pinagyaman, pinakinabanagan, at inalagaan ng mamamayan ang dagat na ito bilang kolektibong yaman ng komunidad, hindi bilang pribadong pagmamay-ari ng dayuhan, malalaking negosyo, at ng iilan. Ang pagsira sa ating kalikasan ay isa lamang sa mga malalaking balakid sa malayang pangisdaan, isa sa mga pangunahing naglilimita sa kabuhayan ng ating mga mangingisda ay ang pagpapatupad ng Amended Fisheries Code kung saan kinukulong sa makitid na municipal waters ang ating mga mangingisdang halos wala nang mahuli sa tindi ng krisis sa klima at pagmimina sa ating karagatan.

Nariyan rin ang banta ng mapanganib na Labrador Nuclear Power Plant at waste-to-energy incinerator project sa Dagupan na siyang tiyak na magkokontamina at lubusang sisira sa yaman ng Lingayen Gulf. Habang patuloy na kumukita ang mga dayuhan at nasa kapangyarihan, ordinaryong mangingisda at mamamayan naman ang pinagkakaitan ng karapatan sa isang masaganang dagat sa ngalan ng pekeng pag-unlad na hindi nakaugat sa interes ng nakararami. Sa halip ang lahat ng operasyong ito ay para sa dayuhang kita at kapakinabangan.

Habang kumakalat ang naturang bidyo sa internet, bumubuhos din ang galit, pangamba, at panawagan ng mamamayan para sa agarang aksyon ng mga lokal at pambansang ahensya ng goberyno. Kapansin-pansin din ang pagkabigla ng maraming netizen sa lumalawak na mining operations at epekto nito sa kanilang kabuhayan. Kaya sa kaliwa’t kanang pagsira sa ating kalikasan, nararapat lamang na tumindig ang mga mamamayan kasama ang mga tanggol-kalikasan ng Pangasinan upang depensahan ang ating dagat at kabuhayan mula sa dayuhang pandarambong.

Dahil gaya na lamang ng matagumpay na paghinto ng pagpapatayo sa ikalawang Sual Coal Power Plant at pagmimina sa mga kabundukan ng Dupax Del Norte sa Nueva Vizcaya, walang imposible sa diwa ng sama-samang pagkilos ng mamamayan para sa ating karapatan at kabuhayan.

Maaaring lumagda at makiisa sa panawagan ng PPSE para tutulan ang offshore mining at para ipaglaban ang ating dagat at kinabukasan: https://chng.it/8sNPDBqg6W

Release Greenpeace 4! Drop the charges, activism is not a crime!

PRESS RELEASE | EcoWaste Coalition to Police: Drop the Charges against Greenpeace Activists, Silence Not the People’s Voice

---

The EcoWaste Coalition has condemned the arrest and detention of four Filipino activists from Greenpeace Southeast Asia on May 8 after peaceably calling on the ASEAN leaders to end plastic pollution and the region’s dependence on fossil fuels. The activists were subsequently released by the Lapu-Lapu City Police on May 9, but were charged for allegedly violating the Public Assembly Act of 1985.

“Unlike industrial polluters and corrupt politicians, the Greenpeace activists inflicted no harm to the planet, people, and wildlife with their peaceful, non-violent action. Instead of charging them, they should be honored for raising the people’s demand for real, not cosmetic, solutions to the waste and plastic problems affecting our nations and citizens,” said Aileen Lucero, National Coordinator, EcoWaste Coalition.

“We call on the police to acknowledge the efforts of the activists to protect Mother Earth and drop all charges without condition,” she emphasized.

Panatang Luntian condemns the arrest of Greenpeace Southeast Asia activists protesting during the 48th ASEAN Summit. The activists called on ASEAN leaders to address the worsening plastic crisis and dependence on fossil fuels, while holding polluting corporations and complicit officials accountable.

Environmental destruction is deeply rooted in systems of neglect perpetuated by both the Marcos Jr. Administration and greedy corporations. Elites working hand in hand with corrupt politicians continue to profit, while communities bear the brunt of the devastation; losing their livelihoods, homes, and even their families.

This is a blatant manifestation of impunity. While corporations continue to pollute and endanger communities through environmentally destructive projects such as large-scale mining, reclamation, and poorly managed landfills, those who resist and demand accountability are met with violence, harassment, and trumped-up charges.

How is it that corporations can freely plunder our natural resources, yet people fighting to protect them must seek permission or secure permits just to peacefully rally? Speaking out against environmental destruction and exposing its consequences is a fundamental right. The state must recognize that injustice exists beyond designated freedom parks and bureaucratic restrictions.

We call for the immediate release of the Greenpeace activists in Cebu and urge ASEAN leaders to uphold their mandate to address urgent issues such as the climate crisis. They must prioritize policies that protect people and the environment, rather than remaining passive in the face of private and corporate interests.
