Geriatric patients with worse arthritis would line up as early as 5am in government hospitals just to be seen by their doctors. Respectfully, sit down in jail.

There were athletes there waiting for their naturalization so that they can represent our country internationally. He didn’t even give them the courtesy of freeing up their time.
Dubbed as the "last ecological frontier," Palawan is home to some of the largest remaining areas of primary forests in the Philippines. If the @DENROfficial is allowing this massacre to happen, just imagine what it has allowed to happen to the rest of the forests in the country.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ORDER FILED BY STUDENTS, ADVOCATES VS SAN MIGUEL CORP.
Students and environmental advocates attended a hearing before the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 41 on Monday regarding their petition for a temporary environmental protection order against San Miguel Corp. (SMC) over the massive tree cutting along Quirino Avenue in Manila.
“We are prompted to file this action in representation of the youth and those yet unborn because we also want to send a message to these corporations that are actively destroying our environment,” petitioner Joaquin Bautista said.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said there are 523 trees subject to tree-cutting and another 94 trees for earth-balling, totaling 617 trees affected to yield construction for the Southern Access Link Expressway (SALEX).
Bautista said the citizen action suit aims to pursue ecological justice and accountability, stressing that SMC should rehabilitate the trees cut in Manila.
The irreparable damage from this ecological violence will be inherited by succeeding generations, sustainability and environment student Elisha Zantua said.
“It can cause catastrophic effects such as eliminating the structure of preventing soil erosion, lessening the capabilities to absorb the floodwater, and affecting the air quality around the space,” she said.
“What we really need right now is more green spaces. We shouldn’t just prioritize urban development over what the people actually need,” Zantua added.
University student and petitioner Paul Benedict Callorina lamented how decades-old trees, which have stood long before he was born, were brazenly cut for an expressway project.
“Our policies and laws should be pro-people and pro-nature,” Callorina said.
The DENR said last week that SMC has voluntarily suspended further tree-cutting activities along Quirino Avenue following the public outrage. | @andronquillo
@Baklaanforyou Hindi lang AI Hub yung itatayo nila sa lugar na yan. Magtatayo din sila ng pagawaan ng mga armas pang giyera. Ang tatayoan ng new clark ay ang lupa ng mga katutubong mga aeta. Pati ang prayer mountain na malapit din sa lugar na yan ay tatayoan ng golf course. SOBRA NA TALAGA!!!
The Philippine Contingent led by Secretary Gibo Teodoro and CSAFP Romeo Brawner Jr. outsmart waiting Chinese media by taking a detour through a kitchen at the Shangrila Hotel in Singapore.
Palawan, the Philippine's LAST FRONTIER, is known for being pristine and biodiverse. It is now under threat from deforestation due to mining. @DENROfficial, protect our trees and mountains, not the greedy mining companies.
This is such a bad PR stunt. Again, people want to retain the trees in the area because they want protection from the heat and sun exposure.
You @DENROfficial don't really get it, do you?
