🌊📢 FROM THE LEADERS’ ASSEMBLY: LOBO, WE MUST STAND TOGETHER
The Flock of the Third S*x Lobo Organization, Inc. (FTS Lobo) participated in the “Save Lobo, Save Batangas, Save VIP” Leaders’ Assembly, where we listened, learned, and gained a deeper understanding of the concerns surrounding the proposed Pryce Gases LPG Terminal, Refilling Plant and Industrial Gas Facilities in Barangay Talalhib Pandayan, Batangas City.
We are sharing what we learned because the people of Lobo deserve to know.
Although the proposed facility is within Batangas City, it is located near our municipality. Its potential risks and environmental consequences do not necessarily stop at a political boundary. A major fire, explosion, flood-related incident, hazardous-material release, or environmental contamination could potentially affect neighboring communities, livelihoods, coastal resources and the environment of Lobo.
🚨 THESE ARE QUESTIONS WE ALL DESERVE TO ASK:
What happens if an LPG facility catches fire or explodes?
What happens during a major flood, earthquake or other disaster?
Where are the emergency and evacuation plans?
How will Loboans be warned and protected?
How will our fishermen, coastal communities, tourism and marine resources be protected?
And most importantly:
WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF LOBO HAVE NO MEANINGFUL VOICE IN A PROJECT THAT MAY POTENTIALLY AFFECT THEM?
The assembly also raised concerns regarding the project’s environmental compliance, land-use changes, consultation process, disaster preparedness and contingency planning, including the reported DENR-EMB Cease and Desist Order issued on January 22, 2026.
These matters deserve transparency, proper investigation, accountability and clear answers from the appropriate authorities.

🌳🌊 THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN ONE PROJECT.
This is about the kind of future we want for Lobo.
Our forests, watersheds, coastline and marine ecosystems are not merely resources. They sustain our communities.
The Verde Island Passage is a precious ecosystem that supports marine life, fisheries, tourism and countless communities.
THE ENVIRONMENT CAN LIVE WITHOUT US,
BUT WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.
We are not against development or progress.
We are asking for development that is responsible, safe, transparent and sustainable—development that protects human life and the environment.
⸻
🤝 LOBO, THIS IS THE TIME TO STAND UNITED.
We cannot remain silent when matters may affect our community.
We cannot allow our voices to be divided.
One voice may be heard.
But a united community can never be easily ignored.
Let us stand together, speak together, and peacefully fight for what is right.
Not because we want conflict.
Not because we want to stop progress.
But because we love Lobo.
We love our people.
We love our environment.
And we want a future where development and the safety of our community can exist together.
LOBOANS, LET US BE UNITED.
LET US BE INFORMED.
LET US SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE.
LET US PROTECT OUR HOME.
🌊 SAVE LOBO.
🌳 SAVE BATANGAS.
🐢 SAVE THE VERDE ISLAND PASSAGE.
Our voice. Our community. Our responsibility. Our future.

Standing with the people of Lobo for a safe, sustainable and inclusive future.
