5. Protect the environment

Protect the environment so that everybody and those in the succeeding generations can benefit from its riches. We will move to protect our ecological systems, especially from massive exploitation and destruction by local or foreign big commercial interests. Control commercial mining, logging, and fishing, guided by the program for sustainable economic development. Let us do our share in finding solutions to global warming and climate change. Let us endeavor to improve our country’s capacity to discover and use clean and renewable energy sources.

Repeal the Mining Act of 1995, and advance a policy of mining with adequate care for the environment, and one that benefits the people most, not foreigners or the elite.
Implement a moratorium on the approval of permits or agreements on commercial logging while reviewing the existing laws and policies concerning these.

Resist the proposed reopening of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. Develop natural, clean and renewable energy sources.

Decisively contribute to efforts to mitigate and cope with the effects of global warming through the implementation of progressive policies. Prosecute and demand compensation from industrialized countries and big corporations that are primary perpetrators to global warming.

Make comprehensive responses to different kinds of calamities. Make comprehensive studies on the country’s disaster pronness and preparedness, especially in the context of global warming and climate change. Implement comprehensive programs to prepare the government and the people to immediately respond to devastation during calamities.

Launch massive campaigns for tree-panting and programs for genuine protection and rehabilitation of forests, seas, rivers, lakes and other endangered areas.

Be firm and exert more effort in protecting endangered species. Nurture the country’s biodiversity.
