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.

Meanwhile, Tab Baldwin is “on leave”. Not suspended, not fired… he is ON LEAVE.
Going further downhill, @ateneodemanilau.
Boss, THE UAAP imposed a LIFETIME BAN ON UST COACH ALDIN AYO for the Sorsogon bubble training amid COVID-19. Walang namatay roon. Dito may namatay. A lifetime ban SHOULD NOT BE OFF THE TABLE AT THIS POINT.

This woman has courageously stood up for us her whole life despite the risk and despite the odds.
Alan Peter Cayetano’s law school batchmates are calling him out for enabling a constitutional crisis.
Sabi nila, stop power-tripping the Senate, face the Ombudsman, and quit shielding Bato dela Rosa from the law under the guise of fake "protective custody."
Literal na tinuruan siya ng separation of powers, pero bakit anyare sa memory natin, gurl?
Fiat justitia ruat caelum.
Let justice be done though the heavens fall!
Hello, mga tao! Let’s engage in a critical discourse! 🙂
I’ve recently been reading a lot of opinions re: speaking up and how my words are somehow being used to fit a certain narrative.
Here are my thoughts;
Anong pinagsasabi ni Alan Cayetano na wala pang naa-aresto sa loob ng Senate? Eh, ano ‘to? Back in 2018, Makati RTC issued a warrant against me for rebellion and it was served by the PNP while the Senate was in session. The arresting PNP personnel read to me the Miranda rights while I was at the Executive Lounge beside the Senate Session Hall. Sumama ako sa mga pulis na nag-aresto sakin.

Idk abt you guys but the Philippines moved on quickly from the DPWH flood control scandal and every other corruption scandal before that. And somehow, I feel like media organizations could have done more to keep the conversation happening.
