Strategy : STOP and DERAIL
All Fossil Gas Applications and Prevent
Lock-in
1.Stop and/or Delay the application and the Permitting Process and the Legislative Track of Fossil Gas Bills.( 1.7 GW of SMC application was stalled already since February 2021)
2.Developing the Site of Struggle
( Batangas City) – organizing the resistance.
2.1. Reconvening of
Piglas Batangas - movement vs Fossil Gas in Batangas City/Province ( collaboration of 27 church/ orgs/individuals in Batangas City) Enforcement & Raising the Standards/ Key Biodiversity Areas/Verde Island Passage
2.2. PMCJ Organizing and Campaigns Team to hasten the building of the Batangas City resistance.
2.3. Legal and Administrative Complaints Filing - EIS, Application Process
3. National BROAD FRONT : Reconvene Piglas Pilipinas as a national movement of many CSOs, environment groups, church, think tanks, etc vs. fossil gas expansion in the Philippines ( Joint effort :24 Organizations Convened by APMDD )
Piglas Pilipinas was reconvened last May 26, 2021
4. Challenge the Power Supply Agreement
(1.8 GW of SMC)
5. Push for the planned phaseout of coal and fossil fuel plants and raise the standards
- Peak use of coal and fossil fuel by 2030
6. Changing the Narrative – LNG into Fossil Gas
