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.
ang hirap mag breakdown as an adult ano? kasi yes i understand that i need to take time for myself yada yada yada so i will take a leave, eh mas lalo akong nastress pag balik ko sa natambak na workload? nubayan
ironic, they’re talking millions and billions and even trillions sa hearing and here we are nagbubukas ng alkansya, nagbibilang hanggang kelan susunod na sahod dahil short na, namroroblema ng kakainin. Juskopo.
i believe there is always a Divine being looking after us, you see, kahapon during the protest it didn’t rain this hard for us to voice the flood control issues and right now, its raining cars and dogs na para bang gustong ipakita sa mga korap na ito yung pinoprotesta natin.
