PETITION FOR WRIT OF KALIKASAN


(With a Prayer for the Issuance of a Temporary Environmental
Protection Order)
Petitioners, by the undersigned counsel, to this Honorable Court, most
respectfully aver:

PREFATORY STATEMENT

Water is the essence of life. Without water, the Earth will not be able
to sustain life. Without water, humans and all living things on Earth will
perish and die. Furthermore, water is our daily companion; we use it every
day and almost in every activity, from bathing to drinking, water is the basic
and most essential of all human needs.

It is therefore no laughing matter when an activity endangers the


cleanliness and palatability of water, especially when it is of such magnitude
as to affect several communities and hundreds of inhabitants and thousands
from generations yet to be unborn.

NATURE AND URGENCY OF THE PETITION

1. This is a petition for the issuance of a Writ of Kalikasan with a


prayer for the issuance of a Temporary Environmental Protection Order
(TEPO) under the Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases, urgently
seeking to enjoin the unsanitary dumping of discarded waste and expired
stocks of inventory composing mostly of batteries along the coastline of
Sabagang Beach in Brgy. Arkanghel, Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

2.

THE PARTIES

1. The following are the Petitioners:

PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this
Honorable Court that a Writ/Order be issued to respondents to bring the
person of JOSELITO DELA CRUZ to this Honorable Court at the hour and
date to be set by this Honorable Court, and thereafter, to immediately
ORDER his release from the illegal detention committed and being
committed by the respondents.

Petitioner also prays for other reliefs as may be deemed just and
equitable in the premises.
