1 | Residents Oppose Coal Project in Southern Philippine City | Manohitra Ilay Tetikasa Fitrandrahana Arina Ao An-drenivohitr'i Filipina Ny Mponina |
2 | Davao City residents and environment groups are opposing the construction of a coal plant in their city. | Manohitra ny fananganana orinasa mpanao arina ao amin'ny tananàny ireo mponina ao an-drenivohitr'i Davao sy ireo fikambanana miaro ny tontolo iainana. |
3 | Davao is located in Mindanao, south of the Philippines. | Davao dia ao amin'ny faritr'i Mindanao, Atsimon'i Filipina. |
4 | The coal plant is to be constructed by Aboitiz Power which got the approval of the city government despite local opposition. | Voalaza fa ho hahorin'ny Aboitiz Power , izay nahazo ny fahazahoan-dalana avy amin'ny gvernemanta ilay Orinasa mpanao arina , na dia teo aza ny fitsipahan'ny mponina izany. |
5 | Jean Lindo-Scandal, a medical doctor and environmentalist, enumerated some reasons why Davao green groups are against the plant: | Jean Lindo-Scandal, izay dokotera no sady mpiharo ny tontolo iainana dia nanonona antony vitsivitsy hanoheran'ireo fikambanana miharo ny tontolo iainana ao Davao ilay tetikasa : |
6 | Aboitiz Power has started the coal project even if without the carbon sink management plan. | Natomboky ny Aboitiz Power ilay tetikasa na dia tsy misy drafitra fanaraha-maso ny toeram-pitrohana arina zany. |
7 | The coal fired power plant will lock the Davaoeňos in dirty energy for more than 25 years. | Hampiaina angovo maloto an'ireo mponina ao Davao mandritry ny 25 taona mahery ilay orinasa mpanao arina. |
8 | By then, the damage to the environment cannot be reversed. | Ary mandrapahatonga izany fotoana izany, efa tsy hay tohinina intsony ny fahasimbana aterany. |
9 | Coal fired power plant will endanger the lives of the Philippine eagle in Toril the sea turtles. | Tandindomin-doza ny fiainan'ireo voromahery ao Filipina sy ny soka-dranomasina ao Toril noho io orinasa mpanao arina io. |
10 | The coal is located close to the pawikan [sea turtle] sanctuary and eagle sanctuary. | Any akaikin'ny fitoeran'ny pawikan [soka-dranomasina] sy fitoeran'ny vormahery no misy ilay orinasa. |
11 | If smoking by humans is forbidden in the public places of Davao, the more should the coal plant be forbidden from smoking. | Raha voarara ny fifohana sigara eny amin'ny toerana natokana ho an'ny be sy ny maro ao Davao, tokony voarara koa araka izany ny famoahan-tsetroka be avy amin'io orinasa manao arina io. |
12 | Last June 29, Davao activists and residents who are opposed to the coal plant joined the ‘Global Day of Action to End the Age of Coal' by holding a protest in the city's freedom park. | Ny 29 Jona lasa teo, nandray anjara tamin'ilay ‘Andro iraisam-pirenena ho an'ny fampitsaharana ny vanim-potoanan'ny arina' ireo mafana fo sy mponina avy ao Davao, tamin'ny fanaovana hetsi-panoherana tao amin'ny kianjan'ny demokrasia tany an-toerana. |

15 | Protesters pointed the irony of Davao implementing a strict anti-smoking ordinance yet it welcomes the entry of a coal plant in the city. | Notsipihan'ireo mpanao hetsi-panoherana manokana ny fametrahana lalàna mandràra ny fifohana sigara izay toa mahatsikaiky satria mamela ny fananganana orinasa mpanao arina any an-toerana izany. |
16 | Early this month, Davao was even recognized by the Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance as the first 100 percent smoke-free metropolitan in the Southeast Asian region: | Tamin'ny voalohandohan'ity volana ity ary i Davao dia nankasitrahan'ny Vondrona Mpanara-maso ny Zava-mahadomelina any Azia Atsimo Atsinanana ho tanan-dehibe tsy ahitana setroka mihitsy any amin'ny faritra Azia Asimo Atsinana: |
17 | …the city is recognized as the first metropolitan city to be smoke-free not only in the Philippines but the ASEAN region | …nankasitrahana ho isan'ny tanàna tsy ahitan-tsetroka indrindra ny tanàna, tsy aty Filipina ihany fa amin'ny faritra AZIA |
18 | Davao City is a city to emulate in many aspects, specially in their smoke-free efforts | Tanàna tsara alain-tahaka amin'ny lafin-javatra maro i Davao, indrindra amin'ny ezaka ataony amin'ny tsy fisian'ny setroka |

20 | Cabuenas wants progress for Davao but she also asserts the need for a safe and healthy environment: | Cabuenas dia maniry fampandrosoana ho an'i Davao kanefa notsipihany ihany koa ny ilàna tontolo iainana madio sy ara-pahasalamana : |
21 | I, as a legitimate citizen of Davao, am torn between economic benefit and global health, I assume that it's better (to) live in a community simply and have a clean environment to prolong my life and enjoy it with the resources blessed upon me, than to live luxuriously but with a dangerous atmosphere. | Izaho, amin'ny maha mponina ara-dalàna ahy ao Davao, dia misalasala eo anatrehan'ny tombotsoa ara-toekarena sy ny fahasalaman'ny rehetra, ekeko fa tsara kokoa (ny) miaina anaty fiarahamonina tsotra sy ahitana tontolo madio mba hahaela velona ahy sy higalabona anaty harena nomen-janahary ahy, toy izay hiaina anaty rendrarendra kanefa ny tontolo iainana mampitahotra. |
22 | So, I wrote this article without prejudice, but I'm making my stand against the harmful coal-fired power plant. | Noho izany indrindra no nanoratako ity lahatsoratra ity, ka dia mijoro amin'ny hevitro manohitra ny fananganana orinasa mpanodina herin'aratra amin'ny arina aho. |
23 | Honestly, I wanted the city, the region, the whole Mindanao, the country; to be progressive. | Tsoriko fa tiako hivoatra hatrany ny tanàna, ny faritra, i Mindanao manontolo, ary ny firenena. |
24 | But I need the earth, my environment to be safe and harmless | Kanefa mila ny filaminana sy ny fahadiovan'ny tany sy ny tontolo iainako aho. |
25 | Anna Abad interviewed some residents who will be displaced by the coal project: | Anna Abad dia nanao fanadihadiana ireo mponina sasany izay voatery hafindra toerana noho io tetikasa fananganana orinasa mpanao arina io: |
26 | Lolo [grandfather] breaks the silence and confides that one of the cemeteries in the area is gone, replaced by the construction of the coal-fired power plant, which has been cordoned off from the public. | Niloa-bava i Lolo [Raim-pianakaviana] ary nilaza hoe nesorina ireo fasana maro, ary nosoloina orinasa fanodinana herin'aratra mandeha amin'ny arina, izay tsy azo idiran'ny olon-tsotra. |
27 | The feeling of helplessness and hopelessness surge through me like a lightning bolt - how can this be allowed to happen? | Tsapako toy ny varatra milatsaka ato amiko ny fahatsapana tsy fahafaha-manoatra sy fahakiviana - nahoana izany no navela hisy ? |
28 | It's depressing enough that the community currently residing there are going to be displaced, along with it, their social and economic ties to the land. | Mampalahelo ihany ny mahita ireo mponina teo voatery hafindra toerana, ary miaraka amin'izay ny fifamantorany tamin'ny mpiaramonina sy ny toekareny teo amin'io toerana io. |
29 | But to strip them away of their culture and tradition, paying no respect to the sacredness of the burial ground is beyond belief. | Kanefa ambonin'izany fanalavirana ny mponina amin'ny kolontsainy sy ny fomba amam-panaony izany, ny tsy fanajana ireo razana izay tena tsy mampino. |
