[INVESTIGATIVE REPORT] For the past 20 years, across four presidential terms, the same contractors have been awarded the largest public works contracts. Whether the president is a Marcos, a Duterte, an Aquino or an Arroyo, many politically well-connected firms have outbidded all others, cornering a disproportionate chunk of the lucrative public works projects funded from the people’s taxes.

Setyembre 06. MANINDIGAN.
Sa paglulunsad ng MANINDIGAN, isang malawak na network para sa kampanya laban sa paglabag sa karapatang-tao sa ilalim ng Rehimeng Marcos Jr., iba't ibang sektor ang nakibahagi at nanindigan para sa pagtatanggol sa karapatang-tao.
Sa bahagi ng talakayang pinangunahan ni Inday Espina-Varona sa mga lider mula sa iba't ibang rehiyon, lumilitaw na ang malalaking proyektong pang-imprastruktura tulad ng mga dam, malawakang pagmimina ay dahilan sa pagkawala ng kabuhayan ng mamamayan. Anang mga naging kapanayam niya, ang paglaban ng mga mamamayan sa iba't ibang rehiyon para ipagtanggol ang kanilang lupa dahil sa mga proyektong ito ay nagiging dahilan para sa paglabag sa mga karapatang-tao.
Ayon naman kay Bishop Gerardo Alminaza, ang lead convenor ng MANINDIGAN, ang mga komunidad laluna sa kanayunan at mga pook panirahan ng mga pambansang minorya ay patuloy na dumaranas ng pambobomba, panghaharas at militarisasyon.

[INVESTIGATIVE REPORT] The government’s move to retire its last coal plant is expected to send a strong signal to private coal plant owners that the reign of fossil fuels is ending. Following the buyout of a huge power conglomerate, officials are stalling on plans to shut down STEAG Mindanao Coal in Misamis Oriental, citing supply-security arguments that climate change activists insist have no basis in science.
