ICYMI: Urban poor communities and environmentalists from across Metro Manila conducted "Poorest de Mayo", also known as the "Sagala of the Marginalized" on May 25, 2026, a political reinterpretation of the traditional, Santacruzan Flores de Mayo to shed light to the economic woes of impoverished sectors.

The delegates marched from the Our Lady of Sorrows Parish Church toward the Senate building while chanting to arrest Bato and hold VP Sara accountable for corruption.

Among the communities represented include residents from Smokey Mountain protesting against the Waste-to-Energy incinerator facility which would push further demolitions in Tondo, Manila. Citizens of Muntinlupa, Parañaque, and Las Piñas were also present to denounce 'developmental aggressions' including the Laguna Lakeshore Road Network.

Environmental groups urge Philippine authorities on Thursday, June 25, to strengthen border vigilance against e-waste shipments from the United States.

Local groups forming a new coalition on Thursday (‘Environmental Task Force Against Illegal E-Waste Imports to the Philippines’) said this is illegal and violates the Basel Convention, a global treaty that regulates movement of hazardous wastes.

“Philippines is not your dumping ground,” the groups said.

The new coalition also condemned the Manila RTC ruling that restricted the Bureau of Customs from conducting seizures of the shipments. The ruling allowed three private Subic-based e-waste importers “to immediately and unconditionally proceed with their business” unimpeded and within the bounds of the law.

Non-profit organization Basel Action Network had been alerting the Philippine government of these e-waste shipments. Read more here: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/authorities-alerted-alleged-illegal-united-states-electronic-waste-shipments/
