Kalikasan People's Network for the Environment (Kalikasan PNE), along with civil society groups, staged a protest outside the Court of Appeals as environmental advocate Eco Dangla testified in his petitions for a Writ of Amparo and Habeas Data on Friday, Jan. 10.
Supporters called on the court to issue a permanent protection order, emphasizing the need for justice and the safeguarding of environmental defenders. Last year, Dangla and fellow activist Joxelle Tiong, both vocal critics of black sand mining, an incinerator project, and a nuclear power plant in Pangasinan, were abducted.

00:00We are now in front of the Department of Justice.
00:04To be honest, we would have preferred to be in front of the Court of Appeals
00:09because that is where they are currently hearing the hearing of the defendant,
00:16who is being held here by the police.
00:20The situation of human rights in the Philippines,
00:25he and his wife, Eka and Eka,
00:30are making things difficult for the people.
00:37Again, to Eko Dangla, don't worry
00:42because your case is based on the truth.
00:48That is why if the law looks at the truth,
00:52the work of the justice system will be fast and clean.
00:57They will give protection.
