Ahead of key UN treaty talks, we are calling on governments to support global bans and phase-outs of the ‘most high-risk and unnecessary’ single-use plastic products – such as plastic cutlery, e-cigarettes and microplastics in cosmetics, among others.

A series of NEW reports – commissioned by WWF and conducted by Eunomia – identified the most damaging products polluting the and proposes global control measures needed to eliminate, reduce or safely manage and circulate these plastics.

"Kenneth is the brother of Sentor Sherwin Gatchalian and new Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian."

Lakas ng loob, wala namang permit! DENR stops operations of William Gatchalian-owned Atlai Mining in Romblon island paradise. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has ordered Atlai Philippines Mining, a firm owned by “Plastics King” William Gatchalian, to stop its operations in Romblon due to lack of permits.

The DENR issued the order stopping Atlai’s operations on Saturday after locals clashed with police in their quest to halt the mining activities.

However, Altai already did enough damage, with aerial photos showing they have already mined some portions of Sibuyan Island despite not having an environmental clearance certificate.

Residents of Sibuyan Island have vehemently opposed Atlai’s operations in their area, going as far as blocking roads to stop trucks carrying illegally extracted soil and logs from leaving the island.

The group Alyansa Tigil Mina highlighted Gatchalian’s involvement in Atlai, noting that his son Kenneth is a director of Atlai’s parent firm.

Kenneth is the brother of Sentor Sherwin Gatchalian and new Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

Tumitindi ang tensiyon sa Sibuyan Island, Romblon matapos gawing barikada ng mga residente at environmental groups ang kanilang sarili para pigilan ang mga truck ng Altai Philippines Mining Corporation (APMC) sa paghahakot ng nickel ore, na dadalhin sa Hong Kong.

Ayon sa environmental groups na Sibuyanons Against Mining, Alyansa Tigil Mina, at Living Laudato Si’ Philippines, ilegal ang pagmimina ng APMC dahil wala umano itong barangay clearance, municipal business permit, at Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR) foreshore lease contract.

Depensa naman ng APMC, pinayagan sila ng DENR na mag-extract at mag-export ng 50,000 metriko tonelada ng nickel ore na susuriin sa ibang bansa.

Kaugnay nito, umaapela ng tulong at aksiyon ang mga Sibuyanon sa , na pinaniniwalaan nilang pupuwedeng aksiyunan ang kanilang hinaing upang maproteksiyunan ang kanilang isla, na tinaguriang ‘Galapagos of Asia.’
