More than 100 fishing boats sailed across the seas and circled around liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in key locations of the Philippines on November 11, 2024.
The protest marked the country’s participation in the “Global Days of Action Against Gas Expansion” as COP29 opened in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The boat protests took place in Batangas City, Lamon Bay in Quezon, Limay in Bataan, Naga in Cebu, Tabango in Leyte, and Zamboanga City. Organizers from the Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD) and the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ) stated that the action aimed to send “a strong message to world leaders attending COP29 about the dangers posed to the peoples and planet by massive investments in fossil gas.”
