Official Statement | July 24, 2021
MAKAKALIKASAN (Nature Party Philippines) finds the Duterter administration a FAILURE in pursuing the GREEN AGENDA to benefit the environment and the Filipino people. Based on our assessment of the performance and achievements of the Duterte Administration from 2016-2021 using our 15-point Green Agenda and our cross-cutting commitments to equity, especially for the vulnerable "peoples" and sectors of our society, promotion-respect-protection of Human Rights, good governance against graft & corruption and peace & development, we find the Duterte government actions and policies insufficient in confronting our climate and environment emergencies. While we recognize some gains towards our shift to renewable energy, organic agriculture and a modest gain in our reforestation targets. However, this is seriously negated with the total turn around on our ban on open pit mining and the moratorium on new mining projects. Also, the heavy new borrowings that have ballooned our national debt to 11.07T PhP in the long run will weaken our capacity to achieve sustainable development. The Duterte administration also seriously failed in protecting our national patrimony especially in the West Philippine Seas.

An emerging national green political party, MAKAKALIKASAN (Nature Party Philippines) aptly commemorates the start of the Philippine Environment Month this June, 2021 to launch four (4) innovative programs to mainstream its brand of ecologism ideology. This signals the entry of environmentalists in mainstream politics in the country. Last April 30, MAKAKALIKASAN submitted its petition for registration with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to be recognized as a national political party. Equally important, from the decision of its founding assembly held last Earth Day, April 22, 2021, MAKAKALIKASAN has also resolved to weigh in its support for the 1Sambayan Electoral Coalition. |
