📣 Consumers demand real solutions to the multiple crises we face which have led to intensifying food insecurity in the Philippines.
Behind the battery of challenges and catastrophes that leave millions of Filipinos poor and hungry—severe typhoons, destructive flooding, supersized drought, the soaring prices of fuel and basic commodities—is the imperialist capture of our food system.
❌ Vast tracts of land in Central Luzon are being seized from farmers and indigenous peoples for Pax Silica, a supply chain security alliance to strengthen US military logistics.
❌ Giant corporations in the Global North continue to target our seed commons, including our rice diversity, for their private gain through technology and laws that violate farmer and consumer rights to safe food and a balanced ecology.
❌ Our sacred mountains are leveled and extracted for their minerals, and watersheds destroyed for giant RE projects, leaving millions and millions vulnerable to the impacts of severe weather.
❌ Low incomes cannot cope with the surging prices wrought by a needless war.
We can no longer deny it: we face existential threats to our ability to feed communities all over the country.
On this global day of action against imperialist war and plunder, consumers stand in solidarity with peasant farmers all over the world and together we demand real solutions that uphold our peoples’ democratic control over our own resources and economies so that we can build a just and sustainable food system.
