Do You Support Gina Lopez?

The CA has rejected the appointment of Gina Lopez as DENR secretary.

GINA LOPEZ – The panel of the Commission on Appointments (CA) has rejected the appointment of Gina Lopez as the secretary of Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Wednesday.

The decision of the CA has sparked news headlines and elicited various reactions from people. Based on a report in ABS-CBN News, only eight members of the Senate and a member of the House of Representatives supported the confirmation of her appointment.

There were those who recognized and agreed with the stand of the senators and representatives who did not support the confirmation of Lopez’s appointment as DENR secretary while there are those who felt sad that it was rejected.

The members of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) are among those who felt sad about the rejection of Lopez’s appointment based on a previous news report.

Each of us has our own stand regarding the issue. There are those who will support Lopez as they have seen her desire to protect the natural resources while there are those who have their own reasons for not supporting her.

How about you? Where do you stand with regards to this issue?

Are you also one of those who would like to let Lopez know that you support her advocacy in protecting and preserving the natural resources?

Or you are one of those who believe that the position is meant for someone out there and not for her?

    • Gina Lopez is p(removed)ionate about protecting the environment and the rich natural resources the country is blessed with. I have been following her and had admired her dedication on the things she believes in.

      She has the right attitude in handling things. A very charismatic knowledgeable and well grounded person. A breath of fresh air in Philippine political arena. We are supporting her 101% !

  1. Gina Lopez had already demonstrated her capability and astuteness as an Envisonmental Secretary. Without fear or favor, she stopped illegal mining.that are surely to be destructive to the environment. Thus, there is no doubt that she deserves to be reappointed as the the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources.
