may all the homeless people, stray dogs and cats stay safe and dry during this rainy season. if we have the privilege to help others, let's do so. stay safe, everyone!
Stop glorifying Filipino resilience.
We should not be proud of how well Filipinos survive problems that should have been prevented in the first place.
Resilience is not a replacement for good governance. “Filipinos are resilient” should not be used to cover poor planning, failed flood control, and lack of accountability.
We do not need to be more resilient. We need a government that does its job.
seeing mayor leni deliver her speech really made me think of what could’ve been if filipinos won last election. i will forever mourn the possibilities of having good government. 🥺
we were once so close to a better government :’(
If you think the people in our government cares about the environment, Gina Lopez was kicked out from being the DENR secretary by 16 over 8 votes against her.
Within 10 months in her post, she closed 23 mining operations, banned open-pit mining and shut down half of the country's mining companies.
Unfortunately, members of the congressional committee decided to remove her, as some of the 16 members who voted are connected on the mining industry, which explains why most of mining operations resumed after Gina Lopez got fired.
This is one of the most disgusting examples of our politicians prioritizing their personal interest over environmental welfare.
If only Ma’am Gina Lopez were still here, ano kaya ang magiging situation ng environment natin ngayon? Baka mas marami pa sanang lugar ang naprotektahan, mas mahigpit ang laban para sa kalikasan, at mas may boses ang mga komunidad na naaapektuhan.
On other news, kudos to mam @karadavid and the @IWitnessGMA team for exposing this. Nakakalungkot. Hopefully one day the government seeks a way fo introduce waste to energy solutions in the country. But also educate the people on proepr waste management. 😞
Stop the bullying. Stop the body shaming. Every learner deserves a safe school where respect and kindness rule. Let’s build classrooms of dignity, not cruelty.
