FOP April 2009

Dear Readers,

This April, Focus on the Philippines covers water and energy issues as we mark Earth month, with statements and analysis from the Peoples’ Water Forum as well as papers regarding the proposed nuclear option and revival of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). The issue also includes a special section on the G20 and posts data from the National Statistical Coordination Board regarding the poor and climate change.

This issue also takes us to Istanbul, London and China. Here, Mary Ann Manahan talks about the Paradox of Asia’s Water. Walden Bello, newly sworn in Philippine Congress representative, unpacks the G-20; while Julie Delos Reyes presents her insights on China amidst the crisis.

In the Philippines, the energy debate is taking a dangerous turn as government officials seriously consider nuclear energy as a “sustainable, steady, quality, affordable source of power” followed by a bill to revive the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. The BNPP bill has provoked intense opposition from social movements, church groups and other progressive organizations. In this issue, the Network Opposed to the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (NOtoBNPP), a network of progressive organizations, social movements, academics, progressive legislators, human rights advocates, ecologists, media people, church workers, consumers movements & activists against the rehabilitation and operation of the BNPP, shares four articles which lay down at least seven reasons why they’re against the revival of the BNPP.
