No to Kaliwa Dam, Save Sierra Madre
The Issue
The Kaliwa Dam Project abuses legitimate cycles and the Philippine constitution, is dangerous to the climate, and is against the nation's public interest.
With the expanding interest for water gracefully in Metro Manila, exorbitant choices appear to apparently unravel this worry. Indeed, the ongoing "water emergency" was utilized to facilitate and legitimize the New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project as the answer for such.
We remain against the Kaliwa Dam Project since this undertaking:
- will influence the familial spaces where 5,000 Dumagat-Remontados are arranged;
- is being sped up by the railroading of its lawful cycle, especially the privilege of the Dumagat-Remontados to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent measure under IPRA;
- will crush the biodiversity and environment of 126 species in 300 hectares of the Sierra Madre and jeopardize 100,000 occupants downstream with the danger of huge flooding;
- will involve a pointless 10.37 billion-peso credit from China, further exacerbating our obligation ridden economy;
- will require each Filipino, including those external Metro Manila, to bear the obligation;
- may make our administration give up Philippine region to take care of the advance.
We subsequently approach President Duterte and all administration chiefs to renounce the Kaliwa Dam Project. We accept that this task won't address the issue yet additionally aggravate conditions for the Philippines. Elective water arrangements that are both less expensive and more feasible have been offered by different specialists.
