Here are the rural people fighting against the Jalaur Mega Dam displacing communities in the Philippines.
“The Jalaur River Multi-Purpose Project (JRMP) Phase II, commonly known as the Jalaur Mega Dam, is a large-scale infrastructure project funded by the Korean Export-Import Bank (KEXIM) and constructed by Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd. The dam is being built on the ancestral lands of the Tumandok people in Calinog, Iloilo of Panay Island, as part of the Philippine government’s push for infrastructure development under the Build, Build, Build program. Despite the project’s promises to boost agriculture through improved irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation, it poses significant threats to the environment, indigenous communities, and downstream populations.”
