The government has done nothing about illegal logging and mining, President Rodrigo Duterte said Sunday.
During his situation briefing on typhoon Ulysses held in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan province, Duterte enjoined local government units (LGUs) to do more to protect the environment.
“Itong ulan na ganito, o bagyo, either with winds or just water pouring from the heavens, we always talk about illegal logging and mining but actually nothing has been done about it,” according to the Chief Executive.
“We work to prevent the repetition of disasters by redefining forest protection efforts against illegal logging and mining. I expect our LGUs to do their part in this endeavor.” he added.
Also, Duterte asked local governments to “actively collaborate” with the inter-agency task force that he formed to lead the rehabilitation of those affected by the recent typhoons.
“Your lives, including your good health and safety and improved welfare, are the government’s highest priority,” he said.
