After
at least 740 deaths, close to a thousand missing and approximately 115,000
homes and buildings destroyed, there’s still NO JUSICE IN SIGHT for the
families and surviving victims of Typhoon Pablo’s wrath.
As
early as two or three days ago, illegal logging and mining had been
categorically identified as the causes of the log and landslides that killed or
wounded ‘Pablo’s’ victims and washed
away or buried their homes.
But
up to now, ONE WEEK after the tragedy, NOT A SINGLE ILLEGAL LOGGER OR MINER has
been identified by authorities.
Not
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) or by the PNP, or
any other government agency. And nobody from the government had better have the
stomach of trying to make idiots out of us by saying they have no idea who the
environment criminals are.
TEENAGER
man o matanda sa mga biktima ay tiyak na kilala or may naririnig na kung
sinu-sino ang mga ILEGAL NA MAGTOTROSO O MINERO sa kanilang lugar.
Remember,
boys and girls, illegal logging and mining have been environmental problems
since time immemorial.
Kaya’t
IMPOSIBLE NA WALA MAN LANG KAHIT ISANG SUSPECT ang mga taga DENR o PNP. Kung meron mang maglalakas-loob na magsabi
nito, alin lamang siya sa dalawa – SINUNGALING O INUTIL na WALA nang karapatan
pang magtrabaho.
PNoy
has already ordered an investigation into the extremely high number of
fatalities and the injured.
Pero
wala pa akong nababalitaan na nagsimula nang magtanong-tanong man lang ang DENR
o ang PNP sa mga residente. Wala pa akong nababasa sa mga dyaryo o naririning
sa balita sa radio o TV na ininspeksiyon na ng mga imbestigador ang mga
pinanggalingan ng mga illegal na pinutol na troso o putik mula sa mga minahan.
BALE-WALA
ang utos ni PNoy, ganun ba? Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.
HOW
MANY MORE CORPSES must be recovered first? How many more wounded or injured
victims must be found before an honest-to-goodness investigation is conducted?
Patuloy
na nagugutom ang mga nawalan ng bahay. Patuloy na naghihirap ang mga sugatan.
At HIGIT NA TULUY-TULOY ang pagdiriwang nga mga alagad ng Impiyerno na kilala
natin bilang mga illegal loggers at miners.
Pati
na ang kanilang mga PROTEKTOR. Iyan ang tunay na sitwasyon, mga kababayan. 30
