Protesters Block Runway in South Cotabato to Stop Aerial Spraying MindaNews S N You are here: Home » Top Stories » Protesters block runway in South Cotabato to stop aerial spraying Protesters block runway in South Cotabato to stop aerial spraying By Mindanews on Novem ber 17 2014 4:14 pm GENERAL SANTOS CITY (MindaNews/17 November) — Hundreds of residents barricaded the runway of the community airport in Surallah town in South Cotabato on Monday in protest of the aerial spraying activities of a banana plantation company operating in the area. Around 300 protesters gathered at the Allah Valley Airport in Surallah at around 4 a.m. and occupied a portion of the runway in a bid to stop the aerial spraying activities of foreign-backed Sumifru Philippines Corporation. The company, which operates banana plantations in Surallah and T’boli towns, had been using the airport as base of its aerial spraying operations. Omar Azarcon, coordinator of the protest action, said they launched the mobilization to pressure local government leaders to decisively put a stop to the aerial spraying activities of Sumifru. He said the protesters are composed of parishioners from Surallah and other areas within the Diocese of Marbel, which covers the provinces of South Cotabato, Sarangani and this city. “We’re calling on the provincial government of South Cotabato and the municipal governments of areas affected by the aerial spraying activities to pass ordinances that will totally ban them,” he said in a radio interview. Citing results of their recent fact-finding mission in the affected areas, Azarcon claimed that they have documented three deaths and numerous cases of various illnesses that were directly caused by the aerial spraying activities. He said the three fatalities came from communities situated near the banana plantations of Sumifru in T’boli town. He said they found a significant number of residents who have been suffering from various illnesses like asthma and contact dermatitis in the affected communities. “These were caused by herbicides and fungicides sprayed by airplanes commissioned by Sumifru these past several years,” Azarcon said. Fr. Joy Pelino, coordinator of the Diocese of Marbel’s Social Action Center, said that aside from health hazards, the aerial spraying activities also pose serious threats to the area’s environment. He said the chemicals sprayed by Sumifru’s airplanes could contaminate the Allah river system, which traverses the provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat. Pelino said Allah River’s headwaters are located in the municipalities of Lake Sebu and T’boli, where the banana plantations are located. Azarcon said they will sustain their protest actions until local officials would act on the matter. The municipal government of Surallah issued a five-day permit or until November 23 for the protest actions. “But we might extend our mobilization if we will not get decisive actions from our officials,” he said. Sumifru officials were not immediately available for comment. Sources said the company already pulled out from the airport on Sunday the aircraft and chemicals that it uses for the aerial spraying activities.

  • Chapter 5 Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro

Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
