Kala mo talaga party yung pupuntahan eh noh? 🤬 Putaragis! Masaya yarn?

Sana kayo naman ang makaranas ng baha, mga hayop! Ang titibay ng mga bahay niyo, sandamakmak pa! Kapag may gumuho, may ipapalit agad. Samantalang yung mga tao rito, 30 years nilang pinagtrabahuhan tapos isang iglap lang, wala na lahat!

Hindi niyo alam kasi hindi niyo naranasan!

Kaya sana yung susunod na bagyo, sa inyo lang dumaan! Mga walang puso, putang ina niyo!

𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐳 was appointed by 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞 as an ad interim Secretary of the DENR in July 2016. Both Gina Lopez and President Duterte cared about the environment, they both hated how mining was destroying mountains, rivers, and communities.

She ordered audits of mining operations, suspended or shut down many mines (𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: 𝟐𝟐 𝐨𝐟 𝟒𝟏 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬) and 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬. She also banned new open-pit mining.

Because of her strong anti-mining stance and aggressive environmental actions kaya siya tinanggal ng 𝐂𝐀 (𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬).

Duterte was the one who appointed her, yes.

But the problem is, he was limited by the law and couldn’t interfere with the decision of the Commission on Appointments (CA).

𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒈, 𝒃𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒂 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒊 𝑫𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆❓

Ganito kasi yun:

Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Section 16, Article VII, it states that:

“𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠…”

Sabi with consent daw!

Anong ibig sabihin:

✅ 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠.

✅ 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑛 𝐴𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 (𝐶𝐴) 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑.

✅ 𝐼𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝐴 𝑟𝑒𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎 𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑒, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑛𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛.

Ang dapat sisihin ninyo yung mga mining companies with very strong ties to politicians.

Sisihin niyo yung mga miyembro ng Commission on Appointments na binubuo ng Senado at House of Representatives who voted "No" na ma appoint siya just because she has integrity and she values people over profit.

The decision to reject came from them last May 2017, when the Commission on Appointments voted to reject her confirmation. ng dahil dun her appointment automatically lapsed and she was legally required to step down.

Wag niyo isisi kay Duterte. The CA voted and rejected her appointment as DENR Secretary. The vote was around 16 against her confirmation, 8 in favour.

Naka secret ballot pa yung voting! Tang-ina talaga.

Sisihin niyo yung mga kagaya ni Ronaldo B. Zamora, Representative of San Juan, and at that time the House contingent head for the CA. Yung kapatid niya si Manuel B. Zamora Jr. founder of Nickel Asia Corporation, one of the Philippines’ largest nickel-mining firms.

Again, it wasn’t Duterte who removed her, but the Commission on Appointments (an independent legislative body).
