Secretary Gina Lopez said the following during her interview after the Commission on Appointment rejected her as DENR Secretary.
"It is the constitutional right of every Filipino to have a a clean and healthy environment. I know how to eradicate poverty, ayan sana gusto kong gawin. At the end of the day, the Philippine Constitution is the premiere law of the country. You always talk about due process, but hey what about the rights of every Filipino people?
All I'm saying they're going to make so much money from stockpiling. All I'm saying is give 2M for every magsasaka. What is wrong with giving 2M to the farmers? You should do it because that is the right thing to do. The 2M is for the farm lands. It is mandated in the constitution. It is the right of the DENR Secretary to ask that from you.
I know there are laws and regulations, and I will follow the law but we decide how to navigate. The laws are not meant to be followed blindly! Why are you choosing which laws to follow? What about the farmers? What message are we showing here? That if you want to be confirmed as secretary you have to please them?
1/3 of the Filipinos depends on natural resources. Who suffers when you kill the environment? It's the poor! Because for you business and money is more important than people. This is not just my advocacy, but this is for all Filipinos to take care of the environment. Since politics is so unpredictable, I will do everything that I can for my policies.
Which will bring on social justice. You can"t control the outcome. You have no control over politics. The most important thing for me is to be true. It's wrong when our lawmakers (some of them) serve the interest of others and not the people. You must know that it is in the Constitution, ang karapatan ng bawat Pilipino.
My message to whoever will take my place, remember and safeguard the Constitution. This is not my country. This is our country! Are you small? No, because you have God inside you."
