The Vision

Imagine a country where…
Everyone who wants a job has a work. 
Farmers have lans and the means to make it productive.
Workers are paid decent wages and get all their benefits. 
Schools and hospitals are free and accessible.
Everyone lives in comfortable, affordable homes.
Everyone enjoys public water, electricity and transport. 
Commuting is easy, internet fast and free.
The air is clean, waters clear and the countryside lush and green. 
Communities care for one another.
Now, imagine that country is the Philippines.

About IBON

IBON is a research-education-information development institution. It undertakes the study of socioeconomic issues that confront Philippine society and the world today. It explores alternatives and promotes a new understanding of socio-economic issues that best serve the interests and aspirations of the Filipino people. Since 1978, IBON has fully developed into an institution that provides research, education, publications, information work, and advocacy support.

2023 Campaign

IBON Foundation worked to strengthen consumer’s rights to water and food by gathering together 40-50 organisations, institutinos, government officials, religious groups, environmentalists, transport workers and women and youth to discuss these topics. They identified policy recommendations to guide lobbying and arrived at points of collaboration where several of these groups can work together to advocate for change. A key outcome was the gaining of new allies and a stronger network.

This is part of the Mistra Sustainable Consumption research program in collaboration with Green Action Week.
