WALANG nabanggit si President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr tungkol sa pangangalaga sa kalikasan sa kanyang State of the Nation Address today.
Ayon kay Greenpeace climate campaigner Jefferson Chua, “Action on Climate Justice was conspicuously absent from President Marcos’ SONA—this is a great disappointment for the Filipino people.
“We know that climate impacts are already devastating agriculture, people’s livelihoods and jobs, education and health. Intense typhoons destroy homes, roads and bridges. And it is costing our economy hundreds of billions of pesos every single year.
“Greenpeace is calling on President Marcos to go beyond words and symbolic gestures and enact a climate justice agenda.[1] The president should lead the call for a full, fast, fair and funded fossil fuel phase-out, and payment for climate damages from oil and gas companies.”
