Suggestion: Emilio Ruidera
May I suggest that more detailed information be published or at least give the readers the websites where they will get more info. I think the Infantahins need to know the technical aspect of the project, the impact to the environment and most important, the impact of the dam to the present and future residents. More knowledge about the project will help in planning the course of action and maybe will also help in trying to convince the decision makers to help their constituents.
Response: Great suggestion. Thanks. Please refer to article by Pol Derilo on the initial report about Laiban Dam. Meanwhile, Francisco Romantico has offered to get more information from NEDA. Otherwise, we'll ask Pol Derilo to give more updates on extent of the project, potential impact to the areas involved, and a course of action. To date, what they have asked us is to generate interest in the letter-writing campaign and the collection of signatures to protest the project.
