Filipinos take Shell to UK court
MANILA, Philippines – Over 100 survivors of Typhoon Odette from Bohol and Cebu sued oil firm Shell at the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the loss and damage they said they endured.
Aaron Pedrosa, head of the legal team at the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ), told Rappler going to communities and coordinating with British legal teams took two years. The case hinged on Philippine law and the Commission on Human Rights’ landmark report. It was filed at the Royal Courts of Justice in London by British firm Hausfeld.
Some claimants who were supposed to be present during the filing in London did not make it because of visa problems, said Pedrosa. PMCJ and Greenpeace Philippines are the two groups who helped the Filipino claimants.
“This would probably be, according to our British counterparts, a long-drawn litigation simply because we are up against a giant,” Pedrosa told Rappler in an interview. “But we made the historic first step of filing or pursuing them before their own courts.”
Rappler’s climate reporter Iya Gozum gives a rundown of the case — now called by campaigners as the ‘Odette Case’ — and what this means for communities demanding stronger climate action from governments and corporations.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
