LAST week, two environmental groups filed complaints with the Environmental Management Board of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-EMB) against two liquefied natural gas (LNG) power projects in Batangas City, asking for the revocation of the projects' environmental compliance certificates (ECC). I am generally skeptical of these kinds of complaints, not because they're not right — they almost always are — but because the derision with which they are typically treated by the DENR and other relevant parts of the establishment makes them a poor tactic with which to effect change, or prevent something disastrous from happening.
