The 2nd day of #AviAction starts with a keynote: Solidarity Beyond Borders: Targeting European institutions involved in destructive airport projects worldwide.
With representatives of Filipino organisations speaking about a massive airport complex in the Bulacan province. 🧵🔽
The construction for a massive airport and airport city complex, an ‘aerotropolis’, in the Bulacan province, Manila Bay in the Philippines is underway.
The aerotropolis, which is the most expensive infrastructure project to date in the Philippines, is projected to triple the capacity of the existing main Manila airport.
Present and future social and environmental impacts on fishing communities and coastal ecosystems have triggered a powerful movement of community groups and organisations to resist to this disastrous project at local and international level.
In this session, we are hearing from representatives of fisherfolk groups, AGHAM and Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment about their stories of resistance and experiences of struggle that can be replicated elsewhere.
