A Unity Statement for the Protection of the People and the Environment
We come from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, representing 227 sectoral and people's organizations, Church institutions, local government units, and other advocates throughout the Philippines. We have united through this historic Third People's Mining Conference to express our collective stand on the state's mining policy and practice as well as to reaffirm our aspirations for the country and the environment.
Seventeen years have passed since the Republic Act (RA) 7942 or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 was promulgated. After nearly two decades under the policy of mining liberalization, corporations have gained control over 1,125,000 hectares of the country's rich lands and have earned billions of dollars through the extraction and export of minerals.

Why we need a People’s Summit[i]
By Paul Quintos
Ibon International
March 23, 2012
I think the best way to appreciate the people’s summit in Rio is to look at what’s happening here in this hall over the last few days.
Here we have been witnessing a systematic attempt by some powerful states to weaken, or “bracket” or outright eliminate nearly all references to human rights obligations and equity principles in the text for the outcome of Rio+20.
