LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte – Filipino environmentalists are protesting the release of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, August 24.
Former House Deputy Speaker and environmentalist Lito Atienza Jr. called on all sectors of the Philippines to unite in protesting this, which he said could harm not just the Philippines but also all other countries around the Pacific Ocean.
The Philippines is a naturally rich archipelago and has the world’s smallest commercial fish called “Sinarapan” . Ronnel Arambulo, spokesperson of the Pamalakaya National Federation of Small Fisherfolk with 80,000 members nationwide, said that among the regions in the Philippines that shall be adversely affected by the release of the Fukushima nuclear wastewater are Cagayan and Isabela provinces, Aurora province, Calabarzon, the Bicol region, and Samar provinces, all facing the Pacific Ocean.
