    -I can say that people and government officials are used to that way of life that
    has long been a problem in the philippines, even the mayor is opposed to it because
    he has a connection with mining companies and I can say that he accepts dirty money
    to operate freely even though he knows it devastate the environment.
    - Surigao del Sur Gov. Vicente Pimentel Jr. states that Lopez is unfit for the
    position. That i think he never said that because I know that Gina Lopez studying

    everyone
