Greenpeace locked the gates of the DENR and eight activists, wearing orange jumpsuits and with tube locks connecting their arms, occupied both front gates of the agency, impeding access by visitors to the compound. A long banner that read ‘DENR: Not open for Business’ was hoisted outside the compound.Locations:Asia-Luzon-Metro Manila-Philippines-Quezon City-Southeast AsiaDate:8 May, 2017Credit:© Jimmy Domingo / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5184px X 3456pxKeywords:Access blockade actions-Actions and protests-Arm Bars-Chaining actions-Day-Gates-Governments and Government organisations-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Non-violent direct actions-Outdoors-Philippines Government-Small group of peopleShoot:Blockade and Candlelight Activities at the DENR Office in Quezon CityActivists from Greenpeace Philippines blockade the gates of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) head office in Quezon City to protest the continued control of the Philippine government by big business interests, and as a failure of the current administration to stand by the reforms it is pursuing.The protest stems from the decision of the Commission on Appointments (CA) to reject Regina Lopez as head of the DENR last week. The group said that, with the rejection of Lopez, the reforms she introduced should be protected and continued. They are also calling for transparency and accountability on the votes cast by the members of the CA.Related Collections:Blockade at the DENR Office in Quezon City (All Photographers)
