We reiterate our call for PEACE, JUSTICE, and NONVIOLENCE.

We stress the importance of upholding international humanitarian law and support the calls for an independent investigation into the events in Negros Occidental.

We also remind the government of its role in ensuring that people are free to speak, share their experiences, and stand for their communities and the environment without fear; and in addressing the root causes of these issues. This is the foundation of a just and functioning society.

PAHRA CONDEMNS KILLING OF 19 INDIVIDUALS IN NEGROS; DEMANDS INDEPENDENT PROBE INTO POSSIBLE IHL VIOLATIONS

The Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates (PAHRA) condemns the killing of 19 individuals during an "alleged encounter" in Toboso, Negros Occidental. The alliance asserts that the right to life is non-negotiable and must be the primary lens in evaluating this incident.

While state forces allege that those killed were armed combatants, PAHRA reminds the government that an "allegedly armed" status is not a license for summary ex*****on. Human rights are inherent and universal; they do not disappear in conflict. The state bears the burden of proof to show that this high fatality count was not the result of a policy that disregards due process.

Under International Humanitarian Law (IHL), the principles of distinction and proportionality are legal obligations. This is reinforced by the Philippines' own Republic Act No. 9851, or the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity. This law mandates that the state prosecute those who violate the rules of war, ensuring that even in internal armed conflicts, the dignity of the person is upheld.

Any operation resulting in mass fatalities without captures warrants an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation. It is critical to verify that lethal force was a last resort and that no individuals were killed while hors de combat or as civilians.

PAHRA calls on the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to lead an independent probe to establish the truth beyond military reports. The normalization of lethal force as a response to dissent is a direct threat to the rights of every Filipino. True security can only be achieved through the upholding of justice, the strict implementation of RA 9851, and the absolute protection of the people’s fundamental rights.

Recent events in Negros Island have taken lives and raised urgent questions.

People must be able to express concerns, share experiences, and stand for their communities without fear. This is essential to a just and functioning society.

We call for justice, peace, and nonviolence, so every voice can be heard safely.

At the center of this crisis is our dependence on oil and fossil fuels

Sa gitna ng krisis dulot ng tensyon sa West Asia, patuloy na tumitindig ang mga ordinaryong Pilipino — mga PUV driver, minimum wage workers, at iba pa — na hindi natatakot ipaglaban ang kanilang karapatan sa kalsada, sa kabila ng pagsisikap na mapagkasya ang maliit na kita sa tumataas na presyo ng langis at mga pangunahing bilihin.

Basahin ang akda mula kay Miguel Louie de Guzman ng Greenpeace at alamin ang kanyang karanasan sa pagdodokumento ng mga protestang ito at ang mga aral mula sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga taong patuloy na lumalaban para sa magandang kinabukasan.✊ (Link sa comment section)

People are dying under a broken waste system.

From Cebu to Rizal to Navotas, landfill disasters are not accidents. They are the result of a waste system built on disposal, weak policies, and corporate greed over people.

Today, Greenpeace Philippines joined environmental groups calling for justice and accountability at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, underscoring the need to hold corporations accountable, reduce waste at the source, and enact policies that move us away from disposal-based approaches, including false solutions like waste-to-energy, which brings more harm.

Communities should not have to pay with their lives for a broken system. It is time to stop burying the problem and start solving it at the source.

Apparently, asking for a livable future was too much. So now we get toxic pollution, unbearable heat, a socioeconomic crisis, and corruption to round it all out.

IF ONLY...
🌏 we reduced waste and pollution at the source.
🚴‍♀️ we built greener, people-friendly cities.
☀ we broke free from volatile fossil fuel dependence.
👪 we chose people over greed.

Then maybe a livable future would not be too much to ask.
