OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG NG TANAY YOUTH VOTE SA PAGPATAY AT PAG LABAG SA KARAPATANG PANTAO SA NEGROS OCCIDENTAL

Mariing kinukundena ng Tanay Youth Vote mula sa sektor ng kabataan ng Tanay, Rizal ang pagsasalakay ng militar noong Abril 20, 2026 sa Barangay Salamanca, Toboso, Negros Occidental na nag resulta ng pagkamatay ng 19 na indibidwal at napilitang lumikas mula sa kanilang tahanan na 168 na pamilya at 653 na mga indibidwal.

Iginigiit ng organisasyon na hindi krimen ang mag research para magkaroon ng konkretong solusyon ang mga nasa komunidad, hindi kailangan ng school requirement at papers para mag research, hindi kailangan makipag-ugnayan sa mga LGUs at Barangay na sila naman ang nag papahintulot ng kagipitan ng komunidad.

Nakikiisa ang Tanay Youth Vote (TYV) sa nag luluksang pamilya ng namayapa at nanawagan. Bilang sektor ng kabataan ng Tanay, Rizal mahalaga na mas mulat at lumapag tayo sa komunidad at tingnan ang tunay na reyalidad.

Antipolo City Mayor Jun Jun Ynares III has formally asked the DENR Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla and Vena Group Philippines Country Head Samrinder Nehria to reconsider the placement of proposed wind turbines in Rizal’s karst landscapes. In his January 13, 2026 letters, the Mayor highlighted the vital role of these forests, watersheds, and unique rock formations in preventing floods, landslides, and water shortages.

He warned that some turbine sites may be located in environmentally sensitive karst areas, which are fragile and require extra protection. Construction in these zones could threaten long-term environmental stability and public safety.

While supporting renewable energy, the City of Antipolo stressed that clean energy projects must also protect nature and follow environmental safeguards. The Mayor called for alternative locations and science-based planning that respect Rizal’s natural heritage.

This is a strong step toward ensuring that climate solutions do not come at the cost of our most irreplaceable landscapes. When local leaders stand up for fragile ecosystems, they help ensure a safer, more resilient future for both people and nature.

In November 2025, over 50 groups formally called on the DENR to block Vena Group’s Rizal Wind Power Project, citing its potential impact on three protected areas near Metro Manila, including parts of the Sierra Madre and Masungi Karst Conservation Area. (Link: https://bit.ly/JointPetition2025)

The International Day of Clean Energy on January 26 was declared by the UN General Assembly as a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet.

Panatang Luntian, together with environmental organizations, coalitions, and environmental advocates, stands in full solidarity with the People’s Barricade of Dupax del Norte in their struggle against the entry of mining exploration by the British-owned Woggle Corporation.

We, the undersigned organizations and networks, strongly condemn the violent dispersal of the people’s barricade that resulted in the arrest of seven (7) local residents of Dupax del Norte, where majority are indigenous women and the anti-mining leader Florentino Daynos. These repressive acts expose the State’s blatant disregard for community welfare, human rights, and environmental protection, and reveal how land-use decisions are being dictated not by the people, but by corporate mining interests.

As early as 2024, a certification was issued in favor of Woggle Mining Corporation without the knowledge or consent of the affected communities—an outright violation of the people’s right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC). Reports also confirm that Woggle conducted tree-cutting and road widening activities in Sitio Keon without the necessary permits from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). By August 2025, the corporation attempted to legitimize its presence by conducting meetings with residents, deceptively using IEC attendance and food aid to manufacture consent for its exploration plans.

Dupax del Norte lies within the Nueva Vizcaya watershed, known as the “Watershed Haven”, a critical ecological zone that sustains rivers, forests, farms, and communities across the province and neighboring areas. This watershed is home to rich biodiversity, including endemic flora and fauna, and serves as a natural defense against floods, landslides, and climate-related disasters. Large-scale mining threatens to irreversibly damage these fragile ecosystems, poison water sources, and undermine the food security and livelihoods of present and future generations.

On January 13, 2026, more than 300 armed personnel of the Philippine National Police were deployed to Brgy. Bitnong, Dupax del Norte, to forcibly dismantle the people’s barricade. This militarized operation clearly favored the interests of Woggle Mining Corporation and was carried out pursuant to a court order issued by RTC Branch 30 Judge Paul R. Attolba Jr. While the people initially succeeded in defending the barricade, the Writ of Preliminary Injunction has now been fully implemented. Worse, the trial court has ordered authorities to identify and arrest protesters who continue to block mining exploration activities—criminalizing legitimate dissent and collective defense of land and environment.

This is not an isolated incident. Time and time again, the State has weaponized laws, courts, and armed forces against communities and environmental defenders who assert their right to protect their land, water, and life. Yet history has shown that the people of Nueva Vizcaya do not back down easily. They have done this before, successfully resisting OceanaGold and they are doing it again today.

We call on fellow environmental advocates, people’s organizations, and concerned citizens to express solidarity with the People’s Barricade of Dupax del Norte by releasing text or video statements, infographics, and messages of support. Remain vigilant and monitor updates on the situation in Dupax del Norte. The struggle of Nueva Vizcaya is a struggle for environmental justice, national patrimony, and people’s rights.

No to Mining in Dupax del Norte! Save Nueva Vizcaya!

[TINGNAN] Mula sa sektor ng Kabataan ng Tanay ay nilinaw ni Christian Mataverde, Founding-Chairperson ng Tanay Youth Vote na hindi na kailangan pa mag hintay para sa susunod na botohan sa 2028 upang tumindig at mag call for resignation ang mga nasa itaas.

"Tayong mga iba't ibang sektor ng kabataan mula sa mga lider, sangguniang kabataan, manggagawa, estudyante at hindi estudyante, atbp. ay mahalaga ang ating representasyon ngayong sa mga darating na kilos-protesta." Sinabi ni Christian Mataverde

"Hindi natatapos sa eleksyon ang ating pag tindig sa mga isyu at pagkakaroon ng pag-asa para sa bayan––hindi sa 2028 ang solusyon kundi nasa sa atin dahil tayo ang tunay na pag-asa. Gusto natin ng tunay na pagbabago? kabataan, kumilos ka at kamalayan ang iyong sandata!", Dinugtong n'ya pa.

Magkita kita tayo at tumindig upang labanan ang korapsyon!

Makiisa, at makihanay sa Rizal March Against Corruption sa darating na November 28, 1PM sa iMall!
