OUR ORGANIZATION

            Established on January 26, 1981, the Nuclear Free Philippines Coalition (NFPC) is a campaign oriented Coalition of 129 national and sectoral organizations of teachers, youth and students, peasants, women, health professionals, churches, labor, urban poor, science and technology and human rights advocates nationwide.

            The NFPC spearheaded the successful campaign against the construction and the operation of the first and only nuclear power plant in the Philippines (Bataan Nuclear Power Plant). Likewise, the Coalition also served as a secretariat for the campaign to reject the 1991 RP-US Military Bases Agreement leading towards the withdrawal and removal of US Military troops and facilities in the Philippines in 1992. After the withdrawal of US troops and facilities from their military bases in the Philippines, the Coalition functioned as Secretariat to the campaign for the clean-up of the former military bases and demand for US responsibility. NFPC initiated the formation of a People's Task Force for Bases Clean-Up (PTFBC) and functioned as its Secretariat from 1993 to 1996 culminating in the holding of the First International Forum on Military Toxics and Bases Clean-Up in November 1996. The PTFBC today is an independent institution of its own focused on issues related to military toxics and bases clean-up.

            Being the national center for the anti-nuclear, anti-foreign military access, and bases conversion issues, the NFPC provides educational services to its member organizations and to the general public. Its advise on nuclear and bases issues has been sought by members of the Philippine Senate and Congress, as well as by members of city councils, as well as municipal and provincial boards.

            Currently, the NFPC provides Secretariat support for the Movement Against the Visiting Forces Agreement as part of its Campaign Against the RP-US Status of Forces Agreement.
