“Mining expansion is the main driver with an additional 223,000 hectares approved since last year,” said Leon Dulce, the Campaigns Support and Linkages Coordinator at LRC.

The Power for People Coalition (P4P) on Monday lambasted the 123 Agreement, a landmark nuclear deal, inked between the United States and the Philippines.

In a statement, P4P convenor Gerry Arances said the Philippines, which he said is in a state of the climate crisis, “needs energy that is carbon-free, affordable, and sustainable, which only renewable energy can meet”.

Arances accused the Department of Energy of “finding more energy sources that are expensive, dangerous, and imported” instead of “planning to decarbonize the grid”.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said his administration sees “nuclear energy becoming a part of the Philippine energy mix by 2032”.
