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.
🦮: I feel like a lot of people are worried about us. A lot of the fans are worried about how we’re doing. But I just want to say we’re better than ever, you know. It’s like this mutual kind of thing because we’re worried about the fans and how they are, because they might be going through their own thing, or they might be stressed about us. It’s just this mutual kind of… almost, I’ll say, love. Because you need to love someone to worry about them. We’re worried about the fans, the fans are worried about us. But I just want to put this out there that we are doing very well. We are the most confident about this next album.

they deserve a massive apology from everyone. for four months straight, it’s been non-stop harassment and name-calling, yet they've had to deal with everything so professionally. they had to make huge adjustments and didn't even get the time to process everything cuz they just had to keep showing up. even during fan calls, they had to listen to things that obviously don’t fit where they're heading now, but they still chose kindness. they could have easily played the victim card, and honestly, they'd be justified since people are villainizing them. but no, they chose to show up anyway.
being in this group is a massive commitment, and the fact that they stayed and chose to stick together as one team proves just how much they love doing this and being with each other. i seriously can't imagine going through all that pressure and still doing their best to put smiles on our faces every single day. it takes so much courage to keep going like this. but now, there’s no way but up, and after everything they've been through, they truly deserve nothing but the best. thank you so much to the six of you for staying together, so we all still have our favorite safe space to come back to. i love you, ENHYPEN 😭😣
