Makakalikasan-Nature Party Philippines President, Roy Cabonegro was at hand and gave a reaction to the presentation on this new movement. We welcome the coming into the fold one socialist political movement in the country to the wisdom of the ecologism ideology as they subscribe to the need to incorporate within their ideology and political agenda the principles of sustainability, ecological wisdom & integrity. Makakalikasan Party President Cabonegro explained in his reaction that ecologism extends the application of equity in a bid for an egalitarian society beyond equity within one generation of human being as socialist have done in their class struggle worldview but equity across generations of human being looking at the future of those not yet born as the principles of intergenerational equity and sustainability of the greens demands. He further added that going ecologism, the socialist group PLM will now need to extend their view of equity not even just across generations but across species as the principles of deep ecology demands. Finally, he noted that what socialism brings into the green ideology that enhances it is the means on how the stewardship of human beings on our natural resources and biodiversity could practically be done effectively in governance, that of collective decision making and collective ownership; by worker-owner-resident if we are talking about sustainable enterprises in a green settlement. During this May 2022 elections when PLM and Makakalikasan (through then the Kalikasan Muna Coalition) under our Green-Left Manifesto, we ran together under one common practical manifestation of this; among others -- the GREEN COMMUNES, first proposed by KAMANYNILA HOA, a hybrid of being both a Greens and a Socialist organization emancipating urban poor and informal settlers into green social housing. To the PLM, the Makakalikasan Party says: welcome to the world of deep communitarian ecologism. We look forward to continuing to work with PLM as co-equal partners in our bid for social change as we find alternatives to the very system of capitalism that is bringing ecological disaster and untold human sufferings to the world and our part of the world here in the Philippines. The Makakalikasan - Nature Party Philippines, also re-affirms its commitment not just to bilateral partnerships such as this one with the PLM Ecosocialist but also with the broader emerging Green political movement in the country that encompasses Greens from all sides of the political spectrum, the right, the left and the center. We believe it is investing in a much broader alliance such as this that we will achieve political and electoral victory to change our government with green leaders to push the green agenda. We are in fact starting this now as this weekend starting November 27, Sunday in General Trias Cavite, a strategic planning workshop is being co-organized by the Makakalikasan Party and KAMAYNILA HOA to re-invigorate this broad greens coalition in preparation for the 2023, 2025 and 2028 elections and governance. Also for now, the Makakalikasan Party will continue to support GREEN DAY WALKS to show the broad support for the green agenda by all sorts of Filipino from all sorts of sector and people that comprise our great nation.This walk is simultaneous nationwide show of political support on the green agenda across various days that focus on specific environmental issues across the year.
