“How Filipinos stopped the BNPP and nuclear power in the country is a great story,” Simbulan, 67, wrote in the introduction. “We owe it to future generations, for whom this book is written. It is a commitment to promote a nuclear-free homeland for the survival of human life.”
The antinuclear movement began as a desk of the Citizens’ Alliance for Consumer Protection based in St. Scholastica’s College in Manila that transformed into a coalition of 129 organizations in 1981. Msgr. Antonio Dumaual, then parish priest of Morong, said they fought the BNPP “not on mere abstracts.”
Apart from popularizing the issues in many forms, NFPC used songs, poems and theater productions to bring home the messages. They also fought the BNPP up to the Supreme Court. Shortly after proposals were made to revive the BNPP, nuclear disasters occurred, the latest in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Emmanuel still has unanswered questions: “As I look back at the BNPP case, I am shocked at how far the nuclear madness went, like an illness that could have been stopped sooner but was allowed to persist until it spiraled out of control.
ttorejasINQ Result: Poor people are still paying higher electricity bills to rich businessmen. Congrats! Thank you, Cory! 👏👏👏
ttorejasINQ Why are you so afraid of progress? It could possibly have decreased the cost of electricity, but well, ayaw niyo eh, kasi may tatak ng Marcos. Not a Marcos supporter. I don't care who's president, just make the country better.
ttorejasINQ When a professor talk sh*t like this, you just can’t believe how did he become one.
