"We gathered today to show our continued moral support for fisherfolk communities that will be displaced byin barangay Taliptip," said Fr. Celso Dilig from Diocese of Bataan-Bulacan. Sitio Dapdap resident Evangelyn Elorde said,"We are worried about what will happen to us. Until now we don't know where we will relocate and if we'll have a livelihood there, adding that what we truly want is to stay."

They also called on fellow locals to join their brothers and sisters in Taliptip to stand for truth, especially as they seem to be left in the dark. They also called for the project proponent and their local leaders"to recognize these struggles by making pro-people decisions, like Jesus who answered the people in need through mercy."

Masurca found no threat from outsiders, however. She said they welcomed students, professors, scientists, documentarists and journalists and would do so again.CUT DOWN. Some mangrove trees cut down in Sitio Pariahan.

"Isn't this deception, where Ramon Ang was claiming that the airport project was underway yet there was no permit certifying its environmental impact?,” Rodel Alvarez of Pamalakaya-Bulacan said.
