Remember the names and faces of these lawmakers. You can base your decision if you’ll stick with some of them or remove them off your list in the next national election.
A number Filipinos, at least those who are “in the know” are disappointed with Commission on Appointment’s (CA) final decision on Gina Lopez as DENR secretary. The netizens flocked to the social media such as Facebook and Twitter to vent their anger.
The CA, after 3 confirmation hearings, have decided that Lopez can no longer act as head of Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
But the CA is not a one-man agency. It is composed of 24 politicians from the senate (12) and congress (12), and here they are and their vote on Gina Lopez.
