Target:

Mayor Teresita Ong and Residents of Aringay, La Union

Sponsored by:

MANIFESTO

WE THE CURRENT AND FORMER RESIDENTS OF ARINGAY, LA UNION JOINTLY EXPRESSED OUR INDIGNATION TO THE MAYOR OF ARINGAY AND SEVERAL COUNCILORS TO APPROVE THE BUILDING UP OF A ENGINEERED SANITARY LANDFILL FOR THE GARBAGE OF BAGUIO CITY IN SITIO SALAPAK, BARANGAY POBLACION, ARINGAY, LA UNION.

ENGINEERED OR NOT THE SOLID WASTE WILL STILL BECOME THE PROBLEM FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OF THIS TOWN. THE SOLID WASTE WILL BRING OUT HAZARDOUS WASTES THAT WILL FATALLY DEGRADE THE SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER RESOURCES IN AND AROUND THE PROPOSED SITE AND ULTIMATELY DOWNGRADE THE WATER QUALITY OF ARINGAY RIVER. IN THE LONG RUN THE ECOSYSTEM OF LINGAYEN GULF WILL BE ALTERED AND THE FISHES AND OTHER CREATURES OF THE SEA WHICH ARE SOURCE OF INCOME OF OUR FISHERMEN, WILL DISAPPEAR. THE FAMOUS %u201CARARUSEP%u201D AND %u201CTIREM%u201D MAY NO LONGER PALATABLE DUE TO HAZARDOUS MATTERS.

THE EIGHT YEARS OF DUMPING WILL FOREVER LINGER AS HAZARDOUS WASTES STAY FOR HUNDREDS YEARS IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS WILL AFFECT EVEN THE GRANDSONS OF OUR GRANDSONS.

HAZARDOUS WASTES WILL ALSO POLLUTE THE BEACH OF ARINGAY WHICH IS STILL PURE AND CLEAN. THIS THE PROBABLE EFFECT WILL ALSO REACH THE NOW FAMOUS %u201CDULAO BANGUS%u201D FISH POND, AND THIS IS FAR MORE BETTER SOURCE OF INCOME THAN THE GARBAGE FROM BAGUIO.

ARINGAY HAS BEEN OUR HOMETOWN AND FOR US WHO ARE BASED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BASED ABROAD, AND OVERSEAS CONTRACT WORKERS, IT WILL BE OUR VACATION PLACE EVERY SUMMER, FIESTAS AND OTHER CELEBRATED OCCASSIONS.

FOR US THE CLEAN AIR, THE CLEAN WATER OF ARINGAY RIVER, THE LOVELY BEACH, THE FISH FROM ARINGAY RIVER AND SEA ARE STILL THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

WE SOMETIME BRAG AND BRING WITH US FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES FROM OTHER PLACES IN THE PHILIPPINES (TO INCLUDE BAGUIO CITY) AND OTHER COUNTRY TO JOIN US HERE IN ARINGAY DURING THESE OCCASSIONS, AND THEY TOO FILL IN LOVE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT OF THIS TOWN.

OUR FRIENDS JOIN US IN THIS INDIGNATION.

WE ARE JOINING HANDS TOGETHER TO VOICE OUT OUR CONCERN:

FOR THE CONCERNED OF THE HONORABLE

MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF ARINGAY

TO JOIN US TO RESTORE, PROTECT, AND ENHANCED THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OF THE ARINGAY, WE DEMAND THAT A COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT BE REQUIRED BEFORE ANY FINAL ACTION WILL BE MADE. UNTIL SUCH ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETED WE SAY

Leave the stink of 300,000 people in Baguio in Baguio. Leave Aringay alone. The long-term environmental and economic consequences need to be taken into consideration over short-term gains. I am not looking forward to visiting the beaches of Aringay, my birthplace, smelling like a dump.

My father is a real Aringayeno. He used to be a councilman and a very active Aringay citizen. He never took bulls from anyone if he knows he's right. He's a very principled man. He's always against oppression. His heart belongs to the poor and so do I.

Listen to the people and their legitimate concerns before carrying out what you intend doing. The issue is not a small matter but a significant one that would adversely affect the future of the town, the lives of the townspeople and all generations to come. Let it be resolved by a referendum to see what the people really want. Listen to the people. Let them decide.

The Aringay River has been heavily damaged by the decades-long activities of mining corporations operating in the Cordilleras. Must we let this destruction continue? We must not remain voiceless or helpless. This is about the livelihood of thousands of impoverished residents of Aringay who depend on the river, the sea, the farmlands and the forests to survive. This is about the water that we drink and the food that we eat everyday. This is about our lives and the lives of our children and our children's children. Let us circulate this petition but we must not stop here. There are other means by which to continue our struggle.

I left Aringay for greener pastures but my heart is still in there. Please join me to stop the irresponsible elected leaders of the town to degrade the pristine environment of the town by letting Baguio City garbage dump in Aringay.
