BASTO, and VERONICA V. CABE, through the undersigned Legal
Representatives, in compliance with the Honorable Commission' s directive
in its Notice dated 05 July 2019, respectfully submit this Memorandum.
Submitted ex-parte ( without furnishing respondents a copy) considering that there is no directive from the
Honorable Commission to do so in its Notice dated 26 June 2019 and Notice dated 05 July 2019. Also,
none of the respondents appeared during the public hearings and sending printed copies to them (given the
number of pages of this memorandum and the annexes attached ) require needless waste of paper. At any
rate , this memorandum will be published online immediately upon filing at this website
<https://www.greenpeace .org/philippines/press/ 1237/the -climate-change-and-human-rights- petition/> for
transparency purposes. All other pleadings, documentary exhibits, transcript of stenographic notes, notices,
and other processes are also available at said website.
