#NatureWins: In a landmark decision decades in the making, a local court in Marinduque has ruled in favor of at least thirty plaintiffs against the Marcopper Mining Corporation, for a mine spill that wreaked havoc on the community on December 3, 1993. It is one of the worst mining disasters to hit the country.

Judge Emmanuel Recalde of Branch 38 of the Marinduque Regional Trial Court granted 200,000 pesos in temperate damages and 100,000 pesos in moral damages to each of at least thirty plaintiffs in the case filed in 2001. Another one million pesos as exemplary damages was awarded to all the plaintiffs.

“This emblematic case should serve as a warning for communities who wish to embrace mining. Litigating mining-related cases like this celebrated case is a slow march to justice. Communities must think their decisions through for the impact of the environment can be irreversible. In the case of Marinduque, the river affected by the spill is all but dead. With this ruling, Judge Recalde has shown that environmental cases do have a fighting chance in our judicial system,” said Atty. Ryan Roset, direct legal services coordinator of LRC.

𝑪𝑯𝑹 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒏: 𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒚

The National Inquiry on Climate Change Report sets the tone for the next administration’s gargantuan task of demanding climate justice. Kalikasan PNE urges our future leaders to prioritize the report’s recommendation of enacting a law imposing legal human rights liabilities against corporations linked to the climate crisis.

One such proposed law is the People’s Green New Deal (PGND), which seeks to create an emergency economic stimulus program for a just and green recovery.

The PGND enjoins government to establish just compensation mechanisms to claim reparations from top climate polluter countries and corporations. This can be patterned after the Human Rights Victims Claims Board was established to investigate and compensate for human rights abuses perpetrated during the Marcos dictatorship.

We commend the Commission on Human Rights for standing up against fossil fuel giants and other climate criminals who sought to strike down the petition and inquiry on climate and human rights. The ball is now in the hands of the next administration to act on the report’s recommendations.#
