She was gunned down by two motorcycle-riding assassins on the night of July 1, 2016. She was 57 years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cHer untimely passing is not only a significant loss to the coal-free movement in the Philippines, but the manner of her death is a huge blow to our struggle for human rights and against criminality. Greenpeace, together with other organizations working on the anti-coal campaign in Bataan, condemns this attempt to silence the growing opposition to coal-fired power generation not only in Bataan but also in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreenpeace demands justice for Gloria Capitan and other fallen environmental defenders This is a challenge to President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s drive against criminality, which shouldn\u2019t be limited to stopping drug-related crimes but should also go after criminals who target activists standing up to powerful interests. Those who defend the environment need to be protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<br \/>\n<strong>For more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Reuben Muni, Climate and Energy Campaigner<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Email:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:reuben.muni@greenpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reuben.muni@greenpeace.org<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!-- document.write(dc('Eoi_1', '05_62_77_6A_2B_60_66_64_60_75_6B_60_60_77_62_45_6C_6B_70_68_2B_6B_60_67_70_60_77'));\/\/--><\/script> | Mobile:\u00a0(+63) 917 806 9084<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Angelica Carballo-Pago, Media Campaigner<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Email:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:angelica.pago@greenpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">angelica.pago@greenpeace.org<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!-- document.write(dc('Eoi_2', '50_37_22_3F_7E_35_33_31_35_20_3E_35_35_22_37_10_3F_37_31_20_7E_31_33_39_3C_35_37_3E_31'));\/\/--><\/script>\u00a0 | Mobile: (+63) 949 889 1332<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Greenpeace&#8217;s statement on the murder of Gloria Capitan, anti-coal activist in Bataan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":2314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[7,26],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-1057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-energy","tag-justice","p4-page-type-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1057"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2316,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057\/revisions\/2316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1057"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/philippines\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=1057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
