No To BNPP Revival...
i just want to raise the awareness of the people out there to be vigilant in the plan to revive the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. As we all have known, this project has been mounted with anomalies and corruption since it was built in the time of Marcos. From time immemorial, this facility has never been used but we already spent millions (billion)of pesos just to pay for the debt we owe in building this facility. the amount of money could have spent to a more productive endeavor such as giving priorities in education, health or in poverty alleviation. This facility has many defects and this was confirmed by the engineers of University of the Philippines. You could have just imagine the effect of the disaster this might cause in the near future if we allow this to operate. We know that this can generate power and can supply electricity to the whole populace but considering its anomalies and the danger it will cause, i guess no amount of energy can repay to the possible casualties it may bring. The question still remains in the context of corruption and security, not only among people but to the nature as a whole. Nuclear energy is devastating, not only to the expand of the fireball this may cause but also to the amount of radiation that can reach hundreds of kilometers. Cancer and all unknown illnesses can sprout like mushrooms. We are in the ring of fire and any possible time, this may cause damage and eventually bring disaster to the maximum level. In Ormoc City alone, the Geothermal Power Plant can supply electricity to entire Philippines but because of a certain agreement, which was signed by the Government, its capacity to provide power in the Philippines hindered to give way to the multinationals who eyed to get profit such as this Nuclear Plant. this is not the time to remain silent and just sit in one corner. the Bishop of Bataan, bishop Soc Villegas together with some bishops and the people of Bataan have spoken already. And we are called to response as well as Filipinos and Christians who have concern and should act on the danger waiting for us.
NO TO BNPP Revival!
The Interfaith Justice and Peace Network (IFJPNet) is in solidarity with all sectors strongly opposing the revival of Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). The recent move in the congress to raise from the dead the said anomalous project is an act of ignorance and total denial to the scientific findings that the said power plant is indeed dangerous and risky to the lives of the people and environment in Bataan .
We have not forgotten that the said project of former dictator President Ferdinand Marcos was built with million dollars corruption that went only to the pocket of Marcos and his cronies. Again, reviving the said project is tantamount to an act of deception to the Filipino people who are directly paying the million dollars of loans and interest payments through taxes. Many Filipinos are continually suffering due to corruption of the past administrations particularly the huge corruptions under the administration of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Given the clear pattern of corruptions under this administration, the plan to revive the BNPP is not far to become another source of enormous corruption and additional burden to the Filipino people specially the poor who are incessantly deprived of the basic social services. This is another move of stupidity to revivify the headstone of corruption and put the people and environment in an unacceptable danger and destruction!
NO TO Bataan Nuclear Power Plant Revival!
