Manny Pacquiao says NO to Mining. When will you?

Sarangani congressman and eight-time world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao urges every Filipino to do their ahare and protect the province of Palawan -- the country's last ecological frontier and home to the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World--by saying YES to Tourism and Biodiversity and NO to Mining in island ecosystems. "Pacquiao thus joins more than 5.2 million Filipinos and 640 organizations that are now calling for the conservation and protection of Palawan by supporting more sustainable programs for ecotourism, agriculture, and fisheries."


Join the battle cry and make your voices heard—loud and clear—in support of a national rally to protect our environment. Spread the word and play a key role in the evolution of consciousness of our people by urging more Filipinos to say NO to MINING in Palawan and other fragile island ecosystems.


The signature campaign is the power of good; it’s the power of many. If we all own the battle and act decisively and dynamically, then maybe we can try for 3 million more signatures by the end of the month, before hitting the ten million mark by Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012. Help us deliver a strong message to the government and the world: that Filipinos are one in protecting Mother Nature and our own future. Let’s make it happen—play a key role in the consciousness of our people. Our future depends on it…
