We, the undersigned, are a coalition of concerned citizens and non-profit organizations, coming together to raise a unified voice against the continued assault on Cebu’s mountains by the construction of the ‘soon-to-rise Provincial Capitol’ by the Provincial Government of Cebu and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The mountains in Barangay Cambuhawe, Balamban serves to protect critical watersheds, and from the impacts of super typhoons, landslides, and other natural disasters. This project poses grave threat to the mountain ecosystem and a possible irreversible damage to the environment.

Together with the Save Cebu Movement, we demand the immediate halt of the construction project until comprehensive environmental impact assessment is conducted, and the implemention and enforcement of the strict environmental rules and regulations under the law.

By signing this petition, you are not just lending your voice against the destruction of our Cebu mountains; you are standing up for the preservation of our environment. Let us come together to advocate for policies and practices that protect our mountains for generations to come.
